# LinkedIn Text Ads video evidence decision

Status: `omitted_after_review`  
Decision date: 1 October 2026

No video is approved for the current page.

## Candidates reviewed

1. Mitchell Gould, 2024 practical creation walkthrough. It mostly repeats the planned fit and variant workspace.
2. B2Linked / AJ Wilcox, 2023 passage. It centers dated cost framing that should not become a Maestro benchmark.
3. LinkedIn for Marketing, 2014 first-party explainer. It teaches obsolete 50 × 50 image dimensions.

The current page can teach the task more accurately with the sourced examples, original decision graphics and tested workspace. Adding one of these videos would make the page longer without helping the reader make a better decision.

Evidence: `verification/agent-official-video-report.md` and `scene-guide.json`.

## Reopen criteria

Reopen video selection only when a current first-party or practitioner passage demonstrates a task-critical step that the page cannot show accurately with the workspace. A future brief must record:

- source URL and publisher;
- publication date;
- exact start and end time;
- transcript passage;
- the reader decision it improves;
- current-rule comparison;
- rights and attribution boundary;
- poster frame and source timestamp;
- why static examples or original graphics are insufficient.

Until those fields are supported, keep the video omitted.
