Okay we have to put a stop to non-professional media on IMFDB....

Perhaps the best solution would be subjective based on the quality of the film?
It's far from perfect, but that MGS film looked like they at least cared, and not like a backyard shit-fest.

I have not seen the movie. Do they use live weapons? I don't know so I am not qualified to assess the movie, but the supporters have an obligation to support why it qualifies. BTW I've seen GREAT UCLA film school final year student films using all airsoft weapons. I mean they're really good and well shot and edited. Does NOT MEAN I will allow them here.

Well I think none of their weapons were real and all airsoft and gunshots and flying brass were post production edits.

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.
