Poker Babes
I don't think edit warring is the proper way to solve this. Poker-Babes is a self published source and is used in a massive number of articles as a reference and as an external link. This is clearly not warranted as this is not a PokerNews type authoritative poker website, it is the opinions of one person. Were it used sparingly I would not have a problem with it but it is clear somebody has been very aggressive about inserting this site into as many Misplaced Pages articles as possible and I don't think that is appropriate and it clearly meets my definition of 'spam' DegenFarang (talk) 02:29, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
- You seem to have a long standing personal gripe. Obviously the site is not spam. It is owned by PokerStars now, which means it isn't self-published. TheTakeover (talk) 04:08, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

External Link Spam

This standard must be applied to all of the articles. If these interviews or references provide useful information unavailable elsewhere it can be used as a reference and included in the article.
