Hello admin, the entry I created on May 25th, "https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/292280" , is for "The Tom and Jerry Show" released between 1940-67. This entry was deleted by an admin on May 26th. I have already raised my disagreement in a conversation with TMDB Support, but after a week, I have not received any response, so I am expressing it again here.
I created this entry to enable scraping in TV series format. The original entries consist of 161 fragmented listings, none of which explicitly identifies them as The Tom and Jerry, leading to confusion in movie scraping.
It’s important to note that all subsequent Tom and Jerry 7-minute shorts—including post-1970 versions and those after 2000—are listed under TV series format. Therefore, considering this consistency, the 1940s version of Tom and Jerry would be more organized and appropriate as a TV series entry.
Here are the existing TV entries for Tom and Jerry that I have compiled: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/47480-the-tom-and-jerry-show https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/676-tom-and-jerry-tales https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/7842-the-tom-and-jerry-show https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/4274-the-tom-jerry-kids-show https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/14705-the-tom-and-jerry-comedy-show https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/127445-tom-and-jerry-in-new-york https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/217288-tom-and-jerry
Therefore, it is more appropriate for the 1940s version of Tom and Jerry shorts to be listed in TV series format. To create this entry, I spent 4 hours making nearly two thousands edits—if not for merit, at least for the effort put in—so I hope it can be retained. I sincerely hope the administrators will consider my suggestion. Wishing all moderators a pleasant day.

I'm not a mod, but only content that's been released as TV series should be added as TV series.

We only follow the original release. They were originally released as theatrical short movies, not as a TV show.
The other ones you list are real TV series.

Can we retain both movie and TV show entries simultaneously? This would clearly provide convenience for users who actually utilize these entries.

No, we only follow the original release.
