 Removal of The Mesothelioma Society 

I put a link to the The Mesothelioma Society (www.themesotheliomasociety.com). I have read about 80 sites covering mesothelioma and I thought their coverage is the best of the 80 sites. Someone removed the link, citing general Wikipedia guidelines but did not mention any specifically wrong with the site. It is clearly not a lawyer or spam site. So I have undid his deletion. If anyone believes that sites is not appropriate, I would love to hear why.

  

James, this site adds nothing of value to this article.  I see zero useful, reliable content to supplement our article. It doesn't look like anyone is linking to it from off-Wikipedia, either, (other than a comment spammer):

Neither these other associated sites sites you (or someone) added anonymously to our Fentanyl‎ and Celecoxib articles‎:

Interestingly, a reader can't tell where this ""Mesothelioma Society"" is located or even, without a subpoena, who registered its domain name.

Accounts adding one or more of these links:

Please do not add any of these links again. Refer to the links in the warnings you received for more information on editing at Wikipedia. 

Here's a link to the associated report: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#""The Mesothelioma Society"" (talk •  contribs)  

Ir ia unclear to me how much A.B. has even read this site. I have not found a better gloassary on any other site, their treatment discussion is excellent, and they have a good unbiased list of doctors. I am adding it back. Please do not delete this link again.

When someone fills out the contact form requesting help on the ""Society's"" website, who gets it? It's worth a lot of money to American asbestos lawyers looking for new clients. The same is true for leads from the fentanyl and celebrex web sites; both drugs are now involved in expensive litigation in American courts. To get a sense of this ""market"" for web traffic and new legal clients, search Google for each of these terms, then look at the Google ads on the right side of the results page: Fentanyl, Mesothelioma.
