stand-up comedy are no feature films

It looks like IMDb take the category "documentary" from all the stand-up comedy titles. Now when I search for feature films (narrative movies with a screenplay and a story) I get stand-up comedy movies. These movies ARE documentaries, since they are simply the register of a live performance. Please put back the "documentary" category on these titles. Thank you.

There's only one definition of 'documentary' that actually matters here, and that's IMDb's definition.

Note the last line: "This genre should also be applied to all instances of stand-up comedy and concert performances."

If policy has changed, then the guidelines need to be updated (and the change really should have been announced too). Otherwise, Angelo is correct and the genre should be reinstated for the relevant titles.
