What Problems Could There be with Submitting this Title?

I've been trying to submit a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe page to IMDB, and I'm using all the sources I can for it to be accepted:
*http://mariopartylegacy.com/2017/01/mario-kart-8-deluxe-revealed-battle-mode-and-new-characters/
*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e71En_JmZSE
*http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/
*https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe
*http://au.ign.com/articles/2017/01/13/mario-kart-8-deluxe-announced-for-nintendo-switch
*http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/mario-kart-8-deluxe-switch
*https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKB9FEXhJ68
*http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/10/14881596/mario-kart-8-switch-deluxe-differences
Of all these convincing links, I don't know why the game won't be accepted to have a page. Over the years, IMDB has been given titles both legit and not legit. Perhaps if I were told what I could improve on for submitting the title to IMDB for it to go up, it might help, or someone else could give it a shot.

Dunno why they'd port MK8, but I hope the Switch does get a MK9 eventually, with the Mario Kart Franchise still having a potential future.

Curious: Please post your last full data submission here on this message board. You can copy it out of the receipt you would have received from IMDb by e-mail immediately after sending it in. Some of the regulars on the board may review it and, if they can, they may provide suggestions as to how to improve the submission to get it included in the database. (Also, please include the submission reference number -- it's an 18-digit number that will look something like 170123-123456-789000.)

It's pretty much the Miscellaneous Links they'd be looking for, and I am sure that these links I mentioned are good enough for a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe page to come over to IMDB. Is there any other link to anywhere that I could use.

Is there anything else I should look at from having submitted the title that I could perhaps take another look at?

What does "Track Contribution" say in your contribution history -> https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/170312-082153-541000/

It looks like you only just submitted this from the reference number so please also see http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?addsprocessingtimes

Thanks for Mysteriously being able to notice the Pending Title that I submitted. How do you see the Pending Titles not added by me anyway?

Thanks for the notice anyway Col Needham. The time it's taken of all the titles I submitted to IMDB has veried, sometimes less than 24 hours sometimes more than 24 hours.

Hi there,

I have had a look into your submission. We have rejected this as it is a breach of policy and this game should be listed under the alternative versions section of Mario Kart 8.

Please see: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2975604/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

You can submit this alternative version by using the 'edit page' function at the bottom of the title page.

Thanks,

Bex

Thought IMDB didn't mind titles that are ports or even other versions from what I've seen go up, like these:
*www.imdb.com/title/tt6484700/ (A 3DS Port of Yoshi's Woolly World)
*http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3408266/?ref_=fn_al_tt_7 and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2974350/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4 (Both are the same game but a Different Version on a Different System with different titles)
You never know what IMDB can have put up.

Yes, it's true that basically this is a new version of Mario Galaxy 8. Happens a lot in a world of video games.
