us-airport template
I read (even before) the external link guidelines. Can you please let me understanstand exactly why this link (theairdb.com) is not accettable? In my opinion:
 * 1) theAirDB provides a unique resource beyond what the airport article would contain. It contains up to date destinations, statistics such number of dtinations, countries and continents served, average Route Distance.
 * 2) it is a free resource, without commercial link, or whatever
 * 3) Site doesn't require registration or a paid subscription
 * 4) It is in english

Again, I don't wnat to be confrontational, but I just wnat to understand the exact reason. I also invite other member to give their opinion, what ever this is positive or negative about this link.

Thanks for any explanation you will be willing to provide, other than a unspecified "it is spam" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitoque (talk • contribs) 14:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

- - - - I didn't remove your link and am not sure who has the authority to do that? (anyone, "special" users?). But I did look at your site. I don't mean to be harsh in any way, but I did find your site to be very slow and to provide minimal information, some of which is incomplete or incorrect. I'm guessing, and nothing more than that, that the "powers" expect a site to either offer something new, or do a better job at providing info than the existing links. But like you, I'd like to learn the official (if there is such a thing) policy about who is authorized to make final judgements about links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.144.236.78 (talk) 15:29, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
