I've noticed a lot of notable stand up comedy getting removed and recreated (or just removed) recently. The ones I have caught (I'm sure there are more) have been self-released and/or YouTube specials. They all have IMDB pages and are pretty big names, so it strikes me as strange that they are getting removed. Some Examples:
Removed and recreated:
Removed and not recreated:
Is there a reason that these are getting removed? I try to maintain a popular stand up comedy list, and it's frustrating that these big releases are suddenly missing.

They weren't deleted by me, but based on what you are indicating, I understand their deletion. TMDB doesn't support YouTube video and self-released content.

I understand the logic behind excluding YouTube content, however with the popularity in established comedians releasing fully produced specials on YouTube or self releasing specials, it feels like an exception should be made in the case of stand up comedy. I'm not sure how you would draw the line in the sand, as you probably don't want every amateurs special up on the site, but excluding big name releases just feels odd to me.
