Actually, I thought about it and there is no point to feature works that exclusively use Airsoft. There's really nothing to identify. Though internet denizens may still get curious about the weapons and wander over here to check, not finding the film would probably be no worse than finding it and seeing every gun labeled as "some Airsoft PSG-1."

{{nuke}} 'em.

If they don't find a page, they may be tempted to make one.

Perhaps we should have a page/roster of films that are deemed inelligible for IMFDB and if someone were to search that film it would redirect to that roster.

I like this idea.

I don't see how that would prevent non-professional media from coming in. You'd have to know of its existence first.

We were discussing how to prevent people from creating pages that are not deemed suitable for IMFDB. Not non professional media specifically.

But how would you know something is not suitable without having seen it first? There are only so few known non-suitable shows. According to the IMDb stats page, they have entries for almost 400K features, TV movies, TV series and video games.

You don't see what we are getting at.
If a page has already been on IMFDB but we have decided to delete the page because we have found it is ineligible to be on IMFDB it will be added on the ineligibility roster so that if someone searches for it they will be redirected to that roster and find that it does not qualify to be on IMFDB. Preferably a reason would be posted next to it why it does not qualify.

So pages that have already been tagged {{nuke}} and deleted would be added to the roster, we wouldn't tackle everything at once.
