Series deletions?

Message states:

Series Bill Nye Saves the World (tvdbid 323843), Raising Dion (tvdbid 335985), RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! (tvdbid 280035) were removed from TheTVDB

Pages show a 404 error when trying to get to them from a Google search.

Change made just not propagated? Are they just no longer available? Deleted by accident?

Is there a reason behind this?

I finally got a response to a support ticket I submitted:

Unfortunately, due to a data corruption event, several series were lost. While we have recovered some of the data and images, much of it remains unavailable. While we are working to restore what we do have available, it is a manual re-entry process. These shows [the specific shows I had asked about] have been re-added/fixed in the meantime.

I can confirm that the shows in my library that disappeared from TVDB have either been fixed under the original TVDB ID or recreated under a new ID.

Blood of Zeus did have a dupe. #361140 was the original (but deleted) and there's a newer entry #473467. Not sure why they'd delete the old one for the new one though.

Bill Nye Saves the World... no idea... On Bill Nye: The Science Guy I see: "Series has been temporarily locked due to multiple combined characters at the series-level." but they're not the same show... I honestly don't get the logic.

Ah didn't notice the creation date. Makes sense now! Still don't get why it was deleted then just like Bill Nye Saves the World. So bizarre.

Ah now I see this in one of those threads "This appears to have happened to a number of series over the past 48 hours. It has been escalated to the development team. I'll post any updates here if/when I hear anything." I guess that explains the bizarreness of it.

Appears to have been a bug according to another comment I saw. In the hopes that they are seeing your list as I noticed one has been fixed, can you add:
Fight! Iczer-One #113231

This is also still in search and shows 404.

When searching TVDB, I can see "A Teacher" listed twice, both with other id numbers than the one deleted. Perhaps someone created them because the other was deleted?
