Spammed from at least three different IPs/users recently. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:45, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
zaubee.com: Linksearch en (insource) - meta - de - fr - simple - wikt:en - wikt:fr • Spamcheck • MER-C X-wiki • gs • Reports: Links on en - COIBot - COIBot-Local • Discussions: tracked - advanced - RSN • COIBot- Link, Local, & XWiki Reports - Wikipedia: en - fr - de • Google: search • meta • Domain: domaintools • AboutUs.com I'd like to propose that zaubee.com is added to the spam blacklist. It's a business listing site, as far as I can tell, which just lists basic business directory info (address, contact info etc.) that's been scraping web results and rips user reviews for places out of Google Maps. While the site has been around for a bit, it's seemingly undergone an expansion data ripping in last few days. I've already blocked two registered accounts today (listed below) who are adding links to it so it seems there is some concerted effort to do so the last couple of days. I can't see any reason we'd ever want to list to this site, it's just not encyclopaedic and never a reliable source.
Not familiar enough with Regex to risk doing anything myself. if people continue it has the possibility of being attempted to be added to hundreds of thousands of pages and would be troublesome to police. Canterbury Tail talk 19:51, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
When creating articles or sections on awards and nominations related to a television series or film, for example, sometimes I run into a problem regarding an external source for specific awards. When searching for these links, on occasion, the link may no longer be available, or it may not have been archived. In trying to avoid the overuse of IMDb for these sources, I used to use the website, awardsandwinners.com, but it has now been blacklisted. It was a good website to use when official sources weren't available. Why has the website been blacklisted? Chrisj8910 ( talk) 01:45, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

The notional promoters are no longer active. Some of their publications in culture and history are reliable sources and it would be good to be able to provide url links to the book's page in citations. Cambial — foliar❧ 19:29, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
URLs to a fake site / clone of the official site, opensea.io. Mostly hijacking the links at OpenSea, but has been spammed elsewhere (example [3]. Since ArtStyle32 has been blocked, spamming has continued through IPs. - MrOllie ( talk) 22:13, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
The site is a private blog/news aggregator (hosted on GoDaddy.com) masquerading as an official Indian Armed Forces website, Indian Defence Research Wing, being regularly spammed by multiple IP's and throw-away accounts on pages relating to the Indian Armed Forces, and military materiel, aircraft, ships etc, both real and fictional (including pages about totally fictional new ships, aircraft and what have you, that are then used to create WP-articles sourced only to idrw.org...). I have removed all links to the site that I found (see my contributions...), but new links are regularly being added, making black-listing desirable. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 11:33, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
I don't understand something. The string 'xyz' is blacklisted, which should block any .xyz domain. How is it that this listing request came about, if the TLD is already blacklisted? ~ Anachronist ( talk) 05:15, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
\bqadrishattari\.xyz\b
even necessary then, if it's removed from the whitelist? It was added after the .xyz domain. ~
