re:Deletion on Divorce Page
Deletion on Divorce Page

I linked to an article I wrote about "Children and Breakups" which is a chapter in an upcoming book about breakups. It was a free link to a valuable and relevant article to help divorcing parents deal with their children. I am qualified to write it (was a practicing family therapist for over 10 years) and it is going to be part of a book that will be published in the fall. As a therapist the biggest issues divorcing people had was in dealing with their children. This article gave lots of good advice and help. It wasn't spam or vandalism.

Please review the guidelines for external links again. Your addition of this link meets three of the criteria for removal according to guidelines for external links

1.Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority.

2.The link is broken. It does not take you to any useful information.

3.The site promotes sales of books and seminars and is considered solicitous in nature.

If you feel the link should be added the proper place to discuss this is on the talk page of the Divorce article. I advise submitting a link that actually works. You will not get concenus to add a broken link.

Also it's good form to sign your messages on user talk pages.

Sincerely
