Jack-the-Ripper.org?

This link was removed, claiming that it failed WP:EL. I was wondering if some elaboration about how it fails EL could be provided 'ere it be added back in. - Arcayne () 17:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

With no elaboration by the editor removing the link, I have re-added the link yet again. If I am not mistaken, this is a repeat of a similar removal by the editor over the past year. It stays in until a new consensus is established as to the EL value of the linked site. - Arcayne () 17:29, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
I guess the fact that it's a spam site for a company that sells tours and DVDs, and that the owner of that company was the one who put it here, isn't enough for some people. DreamGuy (talk) 18:04, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Incidentally, watch the misleading edit comments. When you added the link you claimed "discussion bears out differently" -- what discussion with supposed bearing out, exactly, are you referring to here? Nothing, really, just you deciding to put it back with no discussion. That's deceptive. You've done that in the past with edit comments too. I hope that was unintentional, though just how exactly you could have accidentally imagined a discussion here that never happened is a bit beyond me. DreamGuy (talk) 18:18, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Might I trouble you to cite that the owner of the site was the one who added it? Additionally, you note that the link shouldn't be allowed in the article because it sells stuff. I would point out that every other link there does as well, or links to sites selling related material. Do we exclude those as well?
And I apologize if you think the prior material was "deceptive". I refer, of course, to the prior discussions which you failed to take part in wherein the link was discussed - among a great many other things. I would refer you to the archives which you just recently re-ordered. I am sure you could find the relevant discussion. No worries, I will wait. :) - Arcayne () 18:32, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
