RE: External link in [Borongan Airport]

Yeah, I linked to a blog. Yeah, I linked to a self-published source. Guilty. Now, please allow me to respond:

RE: Wikipedia:EL

The link is to (AFAIK) a unique resource (Borongan Airport is very remote). The info and photos are unique, reliable, not misleading. This is not an exercise in self-promotion. WP:EL # 11 - I do have some claim under "recognized authority" and will try to point this out without grandstanding ...

RE: WP:N:

- Significant coverage (which is not available elsewhere)

- Independent of the subject

- The source may be assumed "reliable" due to the scope, and period since publishing.

- User:Dougweller says an example of a "recognized expert" is "if Hawkins had a blog on gravity". This is not a good example per WP:N. It is possible for something unnoticed to be "notable"...

RE: WP:SPS:

- the material used is relevant

- the link is NOT self-serving

- does not claim anything, entirely objective

So, I think there is a case for an exception within the WP guidelines ...
