Explain your reasoning why the blacklisting is not necessary anymore: This happened due to an SEO agency we hired to help us improve our rankings since we belong from academic side of the industry.

Explain how the link can be useful on Wikipedia: I am trying to write an article about the site, to be moved to 420chan (after a WP:RFUP). Perhaps the site is not broadly useful, indeed, it most likely isn't. However, if possible, it should be unblocked for at least two pages: 420chan and my draft at User:Psiĥedelisto/420chan. I only strictly need the index unblocked, but I might need to refer to other pages (e.g. about pages, keeping in mind the limited ways I may use WP:PRIMARY/ WP:SPS) in references.
Explain your reasoning why the blacklisting is not necessary anymore: It was added a very long time ago, 2009, due to WP:LTA/Grawp. Certainly spam of it could start again, but then again, any domain can be spammed. There's no intimation that 420chan benefited in any way from this spam or caused it to happen, and the other domains blocked at the same time, by the same admin, for the same reason, are other "shock" sites or "porn" sites.

the site was blacklisted in 2009 for spam, and has only recently received a wikipedia page. imho the risk of spam has long since passed and the site should be removed from the blacklist so it can be linked to in its own page. 𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕟𝕪𝕖𝕕𝕤 / אפרים ( talk) 20:32, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

IP and new account spam, see COIBot report, the IPs are rangeblocked but clearly they're willing to create accounts as well. Popped up on commons once, don't think that's enough for a global blacklisting. creffett ( talk) 14:10, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Found this egregious spam, and while I probably would have withheld report this to the blacklist, I also noticed that the URL was being used at a number of TechCrunch articles in different languages, and I tracked down that spam to this edit at WikiData, so that compels me to submit this report.

Explain how the link can be useful on Wikipedia: We are an Education based news site and help Students preparing for MBA Education.We try our best to help students publish relevant content so that they can not only get the information but also clear various MBA Entrance exams.
Explain your reasoning why the blacklisting is not necessary anymore: This happened due to an SEO agency we hired to help us improve our rankings since we belong from academic side of the industry. However we later came to realize that we have been blocked from wikipedia. The agency is fired hence we can assure the spamming won't happen again.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.64.76.87 ( talk • contribs)
This site was previously usurped by domain grabbers and blacklisted in May 2011, but the site was restored later that year (c. 3 July 2011 - see wayback) and has been the same ever since. I would like to restore the URLs that were removed from Chick tract and possibly other places.-- Auric talk 14:11, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Explain how the link can be useful on Wikipedia: I am trying to write an article about the site, to be moved to 420chan (after a WP:RFUP). Perhaps the site is not broadly useful, indeed, it most likely isn't. However, if possible, it should be unblocked for at least two pages: 420chan and my draft at User:Psiĥedelisto/420chan. I only strictly need the index unblocked, but I might need to refer to other pages (e.g. about pages, keeping in mind the limited ways I may use WP:PRIMARY/ WP:SPS) in references.
Explain your reasoning why the blacklisting is not necessary anymore: It was added a very long time ago, 2009, due to WP:LTA/Grawp. Certainly spam of it could start again, but then again, any domain can be spammed. There's no intimation that 420chan benefited in any way from this spam or caused it to happen, and the other domains blocked at the same time, by the same admin, for the same reason, are other "shock" sites or "porn" sites. Psiĥedelisto ( talk • contribs) 08:47, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
the site was blacklisted in 2009 for spam, and has only recently received a wikipedia page. imho the risk of spam has long since passed and the site should be removed from the blacklist so it can be linked to in its own page. 𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕟𝕪𝕖𝕕𝕤 / אפרים ( talk) 20:32, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
Recurring promotional editing and recurring spam, immediately continued after several clear warnings and a previous block for the same IP. GermanJoe ( talk) 15:48, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Recent blow-up of edits, but the guy I spotted was also spamming in November 2019. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 15:34, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Explain how the link can be useful on Wikipedia: It can be useful as a source for information on birthdays, ages, and locations for articles about YouTubers.
Explain your reasoning why the blacklisting is not necessary anymore: Blacklisting is no longer needed because because it could be a source of info about YouTubers containing ranks, ages, birthdates, locations and more! Famousbirthdays.com = more information. 2601:8B:C300:4A70:2074:7CC6:BDAE:539E ( talk) 00:21, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Blocked all of these for spam, but likely to re-appear unless the links are blacklisted. Left quite a mess of advert screenshots on Commons that also need to be deleted. Spencer T• C 01:24, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Blog spam. Guy ( help!) 23:18, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
"Tamil Rockers", I guess, is some sort of a torrenting site. See Tamil Rockers. This article attracted tons of spam just on its own. The link I'm reporting today I found at Saaho, and after about five seconds of research saw that a similar IP had added that to other articles in April. Short story, it might be wise to blacklist any site that references "Tamil Rockers" in some way, since it's almost never likely to be a legit site.

In addition to the IPs listed above, more IPs are listed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam/2020_Archive_May_7#safwa.pk. Following that report, Pakistani clothing was semi-protected. This slowed them down, but it still occurred in other pages as can be seen in every contribution by the IPs listed above. Now that the semi-protection has expired, they are right back to Pakistani clothing. Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 13:22, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
