OK, I submitted a disc:  Double Feature - American Beauty / The Virgin Suicides.
Submission was declined.

Fine. Things happen.

However, if I am never informed why my submission was declined, I'll never know what to change on a resubmit.     

Insight appreciated.

Also, overviews or not?  I'm not sure if boxed set rules apply to this packaging.

Not having the title I can't be 100% sure but the way I would do it would be to have a parent profile with the UPC from the main box & then add child profiles by individual UPC (if they have them) or disc ID (if not).

Remember to document everything you contribute. ie, if you copy cast/crew from an existing profile, state that (I also give the ID of the profile I'm copying from but don't believe this is necessary).

As Forget has said without the details it would be hard to explain exactly, but going on what you have described I would say you are trying to contribute a "Box Set" even if it comes on one Disc, as it is Two Feature Films.

If it is too be accepted as such then as a box set it can have no more details than the UPC, SRP, Title, Production Year etc. NO cast, No Crew, might be best to re-read the Contribution Rules, these do help to explain. Here

The best way to figure out problem like this is to post the details here.  Then we can see where you went wrong and let you know.

I agree with what has ebeen said, dave. 1) You are dealing with a Boxset by our definition. The next question would be was it a NEW title not previously submitted or an update to a previous existing Profile (which also might have been improperly handled, but that is a different story). If it was an existing Proffile did you look at the votes and the accompanying comments, remember this is not a popularity contest where the most votes wins, if ONE user spotted a problem that was either ignored or not caught by other voters it could well have resulted in a Contribution refusal.

One Submission? That may be the first mistake, this should be ...

a boxset with 3 submissions.

While I don't know this set, I recently added Out of Sight / Intolerable Cruelty: Double Feature
and it's children Out of Sight and
Intolerable Cruelty without any hassle.
