Bebo link removal
[edit]Why? The Bebo link is to an official band page, and is just as valid as a MySpace link. I've read the External Link guidelines and it's not in violation of them. I've quoted the two that I feel are the only applicable ones.
"Except for a link to a page that is the subject of the article or an official page of the article subject—and not prohibited by restrictions on linking—one should avoid:
10. Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums or USENET.
13. Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: it should be a simple exercise to show how the link is directly and symmetrically related to the article's subject. This means that there is both a relation from the website to the subject of the article, and a relation from the subject of the article to the website. For example, the officially sanctioned online site of a rock band has a direct and symmetric relationship to that rock band, and thus should be linked from the rock band's Wikipedia article. An alternative site run by fans is not symmetrically related to the rock band, as the rock band has only indirect connections with that site."
As it's "an official page of the article subject" then number ten doesn't apply, and because it's an official page then you can't claim that thirteen doesn't apply. The band have frequently in the passed demoed new music on their social networking pages, making a link to them very relevent.
Without a better explanation of it's removal, I will put it back.
One thing to remember is that it's an external link guideline. Ignore all rules however is a policy.--Notorious Biggles 22:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
