Thanks Rene.
I felt like rejecting it on principle, but considering it fits with the 2nd sense of リベンジ I thought I should look into it further. As pointed out, the n-gram count isn't coming from the film. I think it's OK to go in.

Well, there's no reference provided for the meaning, which means that we have to search for a reference that confirms what the user submitted.  Because the submitter presumably has some idea of the meaning (they know where they saw it and how they learned that it has such-and-such meaning), it's simple courtesy for them to provide the reference.

In my opinion, it should be impossible to submit if the reference field is empty and if the reference is invalid, then the submission should be instantly rejected.  You can't submit unreferenced factual claims to Wikipedia and expect others to dig up the reference you used... I don't know why a dictionary would be any different.

To be honest, I'm not even sure the gloss provided makes sense.  A rematch is between (at least) two people.  Presumably only one of the two people "lost the previous time", so this doesn't seem sensible.  Is the parenthesized information intended to distinguish it from the case in which the previous match was a draw?  Is there a reference indicating that it does not apply in this case?
