#'''Oppose''' - although marking '''archive.today''' links dead in Feb-2016 is doubtfully a SPAM-action (the proxies did not add new links), there was a SPAM-action in Jun-2015 (after RFC3; not mentioned in RFC3 and not mentioned here yet) adding links to another their ___domain (now offline) '''archive.limited''' [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/Local/archive.limited]]. The threat is still here. As soon as archive.is is whitelisted, they start adding links again. It if will not be whitelisted, they will go on with registering new archive.* domains and SPAM links pointing to new domains. '''webarchiveproject.org''' is hosted on the same IP [http://bgp.he.net/ip/208.78.224.27#_dns] and not yet blacklisted.

#:Another interesting ___domain from the same server: http://web.archive.org/web/20160530040627/http://lushlinks.com/ [[Special:Contributions/202.21.125.86|202.21.125.86]] ([[User talk:202.21.125.86|talk]]) 04:07, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
#::Any connection between those domains and archive.is? The IP addresses are different, the ___domain registration is different, the ___domain host is different. [[User:PaleAqua|PaleAqua]] ([[User talk:PaleAqua|talk]]) 06:32, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
#'''Oppose''' Allowing link to archive.is from articles would be penny wise and pound foolish.
#* Any reference that is ''only'' accessible via archive.is is '''unlikely to be a reliable source''' in the first place. In exceptional circumstances a particular use can be whitelisted.
