:''The following discussion is an archived record of a [[WP:RFC|request for comment]]. <span style="color:red">'''Please do not modify it.'''</span> No further edits should be made to this discussion. ''A summary of the conclusions reached follows.''
::There is a consensus to remove archive.is from the spam blacklist. Most support votes point out both the fact that this is a useful site for referencing, it is often the only source, and [[WP:ROPE|it can always be re-blacklisted if future issues occur]], and spamming can be dealt with. While the opposes mention issues with the service and the original issues resulting it being blacklisted, but on weight of arguments and numbers of votes, there appears to be a consensus that we should at least try un-blacklisting archive.is, and seeing what happens.

This morning, I noticed two IPs, {{useranon|185.127.244.160}} and {{useranon|27.4.121.209}}, mass-removing archive.is citations from articles. I don't have time to investigate each citation in hopes of finding suitable replacements, and, because of the blacklist, I can't roll them back either; the best I can do is undo and comment out the offending archive links, which I did on the articles on my watchlist. Is there a better way to handle this? <span style="font-weight:bold">[[User:Rebbing|<span style="background:#f660ab;color:#60f6f6">Rebb</span>]][[User_talk:Rebbing|<span style="background:#60f6f6;color:#f660ab">ing</span>]]</span> 16:48, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
:The better way to handle it is to not add blacklisted links to Wikipedia. Since you were not able to rollback due to the blacklist, I presume that means the pages haven't been given an exception, so anyone is correct to remove them (pending, of course, the outcome of this RfC). — <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 17:20, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
