On a contribution to the First Season of Terminator SCC (5051890003515, Germany) I saw a strange thing.

In the voting screen it looks like the contribution deletes links to the child entries. (see pic below) In my vote I asked why removing.
The contributor says he is removing no box set entries, there are none.

And yes, if I check my collection, there are no child profiles and if I check for them DVDP says there are none available.

How can this happen? Can we link child profiles that are not in the online database?

I will say yes, you can link to local profiles, which have not been submitted online.

Assuming those child profiles don't exist online, then it looks like that's what has happened here. Whoever added them to the main profile really should have submitted the children too.

I think what has happened is that the person that contributed the parent has created local child profiles but has not contributed them.
I would say that the person removing the box set content should not because if someone does eventually contribute the child profiles they will be a automatically linked to the parent profile at the moment but will not if the disc IDs are removed

I think the most recent contributor is not removing links. If the original contributor linked to local profiles that were not online, than a later contributor will not have the child profiles and his/her profile will have no links to contribute.

Unless in this caSe VirusPil is the only one have local child profiles?

DisIDs for boxset content should remain if (and only if) the initial release contained more than 1 disc.
Since it's more than unlikely that it didn't, the contributor probably misunderstood the rules for boxsets regarding TV-Shows.
The fact that the children weren't uploaded yet doesn't justify a removal from the boxset content.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
