This is the official website for BMI Healthcare, a major private hospital chain in the UK. I can't find any mention of this URL at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/log/Full list, and the only other references I can find are some plausible COI editing back in 2010, some refspam from 2015 dealt with via SPI, and a single possible COI edit from 2015.

Those books are authored by teams of academics and have been reviewed and accepted by the state authorities. There is no reason why is "blacklisted". Example of a source that I tried to use in WP article New Martyr and was denied as "blacklisted": Religion (Threskeutica) for the 3rd grade, High School, edited c. 2007.

This link is not being used anywhere on Wikipedia except on the article of Domenick Nati, which was deleted after an AfD in March, but has since been persistently recreated under new titles by sockpuppets of JellyfishFilms (see the extensive SPI archive). I'm making this spam blacklist request at the suggestion of BethNaught over at ANI. - IagoQnsi ( talk) 18:40, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
