Can someone amend the Rules, Standards and Principles to include the ban on reality TV and documentaries?

It's actually on the Category page for Documentaries. It reads:

"Warning: Documentaries are NOT automatically approved for inclusion into IMFDB. Most of the remaining documentaries have been 'grandfathered in', i.e. they were created before IMFDB ruled against including documentaries. Even those which are grandfathered in must be of exceptional quality and completeness to stay. The ones given a waiver have a limited amount of time to improve, or they are removed. As of now, there is a blanket moratorium on all 'new' documentary pages. If you have a page you wish to create, please run it by the Mods first to see if it warrants a waiver from the ban. "

This matter came to a head late 2010/early2011. :) Hope this helps.

Alright. I just wanted to have it available in writing so I could refer other users to it just in case. Thanks.
