The result of the discussion was Relist at Oct 22 Primefac (talk) 23:51, 21 October 2015 (UTC)* Template:Skeptoid (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) A template used to link episodes of an arbitrarily selected podcast. It's a good podcast and has a long history but it's still just a podcast. Guy (Help!) 10:45, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I suppose the real question is whether or not it would be an appropriate external link. If it is, then the template's fine. If we shouldn't be linking to it in the first place, though, then it isn't. I think Dunning is noted for having solved a few mysteries - lines in Death Valley, etc, which may well push this one into the grounds of important source in a few cases, where other sources point back to him.

I first encountered Brian Dunning when I was developing FileMaker databases for fun and profit. I listen to the podcast and like it, but his notable work has been published in book form and can (and should) be cited as such. Guy (Help!) 22:10, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:EL - that is what I checked before voting here. Even if this is not RS (which is something debatable), I think this site belongs to Links to be considered #4 (Sites that ... contain information about the subject of the article from knowledgeable sources) - after reading what this site provides on a couple of subjects. What kind of Links to be avoided do you think it belongs to? The info by site seem to be "mainstream", sourced, and well written. It is usually not "neutral" in tone, but this is probably the only problem I can immediately count... My very best wishes (talk) 12:47, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
