A series I was watching was deleted from MAL and then re-added. Because of this it was no longer on my list. If it had been in my completed series then I wouldn't even have noticed its disappearance.

It would be nice if, whenever a show gets deleted, all users who have that show on their list get a notification message.

It would be even better if that message contained the rating, tags, comments, number of episodes watched, etc. for that user. This way no information will be lost.

EDIT: If the show wasn't technically deleted but was removed from everyone's list for some other reason then of course I'd still like a similar notification.

I agree, it's annoying when things like that happen.

This has been a problem for years now, and I've noticed it happening on several occasions on my list (most recently, I added Rakugo's first season to my list, only to discover that it was no longer there).

In agreement with the gentlemen above, this has gotten out of hand.

Interesting... I never bothered by it to be honest nor saw any changes in my stuff, since I don't look at it anyway. But isn't that what Anime Mods' problem/job which is to slander stuff to people and say, "this is removed", Or I'm just basically saying BS here?

I have similar problem with one-shot mangas. They got merged into one collection.

There are topics for:
Anime DB
Manga DB

The thing 99.99999% of the users, me included, are not checking them regularly. It's really hard to tell what you did add to your list a few years ago and what is missing from it.
So a notification when an entry on your list has been changed will be very appreciated. <3
