The whole season should be deleted anyway. Could you edit that one instead? https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/93544-top-boy/season/1
edit: Thanks @Maretoh !

There is disagreement on whether Season 3 belongs here or is a separate show. For reference, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1830379 lists 3 seasons and I think that should be held as the standard.

There always is, but we have clear guidelines for revival and sequel series. Netflix released it as a new series rather than as the third of Top Boy: https://www.netflix.com/title/80217669

Fair point. But if tmdb is going to mirror the networks, then shouldn't this series be renamed "Top Boy: Summerhouse" to align with Netflix's intentions? As I read, it seems Netflix is the one that owns the rights (see for e.g, https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/drake-revives-british-drama-top-boy-as-netflix-original-series-1055740) to this show/s (both the old and the new one). In this case, what is tmdb's policy?
To generalize, if seriesA originally aired on networkX and the rights are later bought by networkY which goes ahead and changes metadata on seriesA (for e.g. its title), what is the tmdb's policy?

We only rename series when the title change happens during the original release on the original network. For example, the new seasons of Scrotal Recall were released as Lovesick after Netflix picked up the series. But Netflix using a new title for a long-ended ended series like Top Boy does not impact the original data.
The guidelines are similar for movies. We use the title of the first release and add all the new titles as alternative titles.
