This website accepts user contributions without editorial oversight which means they fail the
WP:Reliable sources guideline. Anybody can make a list of their favorites and publish it—a lot of what we see on Wikipedia is in the form of "100 Greatest Fusion Artists" or similar. The website has been added as an external link or a reference to Wikipedia many, many times, often by multiple good-faith users rather than by a single spamming account. If we blacklist the website the unreliable references and links will stop. Examples of this website being used as a reference or an external link:

This was added by User:Ckatz in the summer of 2011 [8], apparently in response to this spam taunt, but it's quite unlikely that this threat was honest since CCEL (now titled Evangelical Christian Library) is simply a repository site for well-known theological and religion-related texts, most of them PD. I would not be surprised to see links to its materials throughout religious topics on Wikipedia; the case which caught my eye involves a reference in J. Z. Knight to an on-line edition of a book by Russell Chandler, once a religion writer for the LA Times. This looks to be a perfectly reasonable reference, and an online copy is surely preferable for an online encyclopedia. Therefore I would like to ask that this entry be removed from the spam blacklist as unnecessary and inappropriate. Mangoe ( talk) 02:37, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

As of the present moment, however, the site contains in-depth interviews with 40 notable subjects (many of whom have Wikipedia pages), with more surely on the way, but these interviews have not been able to be cited due to the blacklist, despite the fact that they contain information that could potentially be used to correct errors re: the subjects' biographical information, views, etc. As well, the site owner Dan Schneider's own Wikipedia page has had links to the website removed from his own page - even when posted by SouthernNights, a well-known WP editor who is certainly not a SPA - despite the fact that it is by far the best source for information. Given it has been four years, with relatively little activity on even the site owner's own WP page in that time, I think it's reasonable to at least ask that the site be removed from the blacklist and be allowed to be the useful source of information that it can be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.172.38.195 ( talk) 21:37, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

This website is the official website of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it's the official organization for plastic surgeons which are board certified in plastic surgery by the American Board of Medical Specialties. They are heavily involved in plastic surgery education, for example, AMBS certification candidates must have gone though an accredited plastic surgery residency program. They are also involved in public outreach such as educational material for public. So alot of articles involving plastic and reconstructive surgery may like to use this organization's website as a source, to verify information like procedure information, statistics, verify board certification status, etc. I can't even think think of any other site that could provide this type of information in a neutral way, maybe the PRS Journal but the articles are not public. I really have no idea why this entire site would be blanket blacklisted but I think it may suffer from a topic bias. ssc-capricorn ( talk) 19:29, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
I see that in 2008 or so, there was some spamming from what appears to be the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (that is ASAPS, notably different than American Society of Plastic Surgeons, ASPS). ASAPS is specific to cosmetic surgery, while ASPS is general plastic surgery. ASAPS domain is surgery.org and ASPS is plasticsurgery.org but for some reason the generalist ASPS was caught up in the blacklisting of spam from ASAPS members. ssc-capricorn ( talk) 19:45, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
After reviewing the spam report very carefully, I think it's possible that ASAPS may even be an innocent party. The spammers were using these two sites to blend in with their own spam links in an attempt to look legitimate. However, lacking more information, I will let someone else put in a request for ASAPS, or put the request in at another time, but ASPS has no reason at all to be included on the blacklist. They were an innocent bystander. ssc-capricorn ( talk) 20:04, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
I tried to use this website as a source just some minutes ago, but couldn't. It appears that some single-purpose accounts edited many heavy metal-related articles only to add links to this website, and it was ultimately banned since nobody used it for anything but spamming. Well, I was trying to use it legitimately now, they have useful interviews with fine information for metal-related articles. It's been almost 12 months since the events that led to its blocking, can we reconsider it? Victão Lopes Fala! 16:17, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Why Listed in Black List : Website has very accurate with updates data so We thought to list it in External Reference link of Wiki Page. But we have try it to list 4 to 5 times. we thought there is some mistake from our side and hence link is removed so we have try more and more to list the site in reference link. But when we got error at that time we notice that there is something like spamming. But we do not have any intention for spamming activity. Website is Safe and also by mistake we have go on and on adding site... please...
Who we are ?: We are parcel courier company in India. And using this site frequently to search pin code so we have try to add the website in Reference link of Wiki Page.. But after getting error we realise that the site is in Black list so its our mistake.. please do not punish website owner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.187.4.136 ( talk • contribs) 18:40, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

I can find no discussion on the local or global lists about why this site is on here. It's only being used as an external link on the BLP of Mark Allen (triathlete). Since it's his website, an "official" one, I see no reason why it violates WP:ELNO. No discussion on why it's here. No spamming or misuse. I'm asking for it to be removed.

According to this case any one can make any of the website to be list in BLACK LIST.. For Example If i want to Black List Domain : pincode.net.in .. ok from today onwards i will make it post in External Section of Many Page... For More than 5 times and wiki will make it BLACK LIST ... good. the same case is happen with pin code of india.com ... this site is punished without any reason. One person make try to add in external reference. but does it prove that site is spamming site ?? — Preceding

I can find no discussion on the local or global lists about why this site is on here. It's only being used as an external link on the BLP of Mark Allen (triathlete). Since it's his website, an "official" one, I see no reason why it violates WP:ELNO. No discussion on why it's here. No spamming or misuse. I'm asking for it to be removed.

Not sure why it's marked as spam, it shows the filming dates for a number of UK TV programs and I was looking to use it as a reference. 2.100.89.148 ( talk) 19:52, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
It was marked as spam because of this. De-blacklisting is Declined (really, I don't see the use, we are not writing a TV-guide here), if you need one specific page for a specific place on Wikipedia, please ask for that specific page on the whitelist - Defer to Whitelist. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 08:14, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
This site is blacklisted in 2013.I just wanted to remove that website from black list. Some guys wanted to blacklist that website.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.180.112.219 ( talk • contribs)
