[edit] Questions about deletion

Hello we currently added a link on a new users forum for Diamond Aircraft Owners and enthusasts.

We are wondering was our link to our forum was deleted. We are a new group that just started up and can be verified.

Thanks for your question on why I deleted the links to your forum website.

I deleted your links to your forum because it does not comply with: Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided specifically in that it is:

• A site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article.
• A link mainly intended to promote your website. This is called "spamming" See Wikipedia:Spam#External_link_spamming.

and especially

• A link to a social networking site, discussion forum/group

Basically external links to forums are not permitted in Wikipedia articles because they do not meet WP:Notability requirements and are just there to promote the forum website and not because they contribute anything to the article. Wikipedia is not a place to promote your own website. If you are posting a link to a website you created, see Wikipedia:COI - Ahunt (talk) 11:15, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
