I have to add a new title in the database for an old documentary. But IMDB asked me an official website or official social page. Problem this official source doesn't exist. Do you know a way to resolve this problem.

If the documentary has been released or shown, it should be easy to find authoritative sources on the Web, one way or another: critical coverage, festival programs, TV reviews, etc.

Not always. I just added a show that had already aired but there was no information found when I googled it. I did finally find a TV listing for it and IMDb accepted that as a third party site even though there is no official site or anything. It usually takes more information to get these titles added.

Hello, Félix

Miscellaneous link is much more of an obligation then the official site, I believe. Having a few articles which at least mention the title or focus on it, screening information, individually researched filmographies, other databases etc. might be more useful then one link to the offcial page (and in case of such Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and sometimes YouTube might count as well).

Félix: If you are unable to find enough information yourself to get the film submitted and listed in the database, please post here what information you have about the film (especially where, if anywhere, it was released or shown to the public and when). The contributors here may be able to find additional information.
