thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The following websites were deleted from the "external links" section with the edit summary "per WP:ELMINOFFICIAL and WP:LINKFARM": 
* Grand Marais Historical Society
* 2nd Grand Marais Website
* USCG Auxiliary Flotilla 26-12
* Terry Pepper, Seeing the Light, Grand Maris Light.
* Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Maritime Sites
* U.S. Coast Guard Search & Rescue Index
* Grand Marais on Michigan Out of Doors TV
* Alger County Sheriff's Office
User:7&6=thirteen reverted the edit and restored these links with the edit summary "relevant and helpful WP:Not paper".
My concern is that WP:ELMINOFFICIAL and WP:LINKFARM discourage these sorts of links, while WP:Not paper does not focus specifically on external links, and also states, "this policy is not a free pass for inclusion: articles must abide by the appropriate content policies, particularly those covered in the five pillars".
The input of others would be appreciated. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:29, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
