Blacklisted Links Found on List of materials-testing resources

Cyberbot II has detected links on List of materials-testing resources which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

• http://www.sgs.com/en/Construction/Services-Related-to-Materials/Materials-Testing.aspx

  Triggered by \bsgs\.com\b on the local blacklist

Proposed inclusion criteria

I removed all of the external links from this article, as every link appeared to be either spam or in violation of WP:ELLIST. Please let me know if you think any should have been kept in the article. It seems to me that many entries to these two lists, especially the second one ("Global research laboratories for materials testing"), were added as a way for testing laboratories to promote their services. Therefore, I'd like to suggest these inclusion criteria:

1. Organizations and companies on this list must either publish materials testing standards or resources (e.g. ASTM International) or offer notable materials testing services.
2. Each organization and company on this list must either have a reliable source (not the organization's or company's website) demonstrating that it falls into #1, or they must have an established Wikipedia article (not a redlink) containing reliable sources demonstrating that it falls into #1.

I'll wait a bit for discussion on these inclusion criteria before I apply them to the article. Inverted Hourglass (talk) 02:07, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
