The external link: https://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com/

I assume they mean WP:ELNO #11 regarding [[Blog]], but this is a collection of SQL Server builds, and not a blog. Even Wikipedia defines a [[Blog]] as "informal diary-style text entries (posts)". This External Link is not an informal diary-style text entertes. It is the most complete list of SQL Server version history on the web. Each entry in the collection is fully sources with a link back to Microsoft where one can download the specific build. Just because it is hosted on Blogspot.com, does not make it comply with Wikipedia's definition of a Blog. Infact Blogspot does not even make a mention in WP's definition, nor is is listed in [[Comparison of free blog hosting services]]. WP:ELYES #3 applies here, and should take precedence over WP:ELNO. Essentially what we have is a well-chosen link to a directory of websites. Therefore WP:ELMAYBE #3 also applies here. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Paul.wehland|Paul.wehland]] ([[User talk:Paul.wehland#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Paul.wehland|contribs]]) 10:10, 31 August 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
