Early life

Regarding the information which was removed, this link covers some, but not all of it - The Independant profile pcfreakshow 19:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rangers FC

The is no verification that Ms Young is a Rangers supporter and given the poor publicity that surrounds that club,feel that the connection should be deleted until it has been verified —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.17.169.118 (talk) 01:49, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actress

Page on agent's site

The link to http://www.kbjmgt.co.uk/clients/30-kirsty-young has been removed as "spam". It's a link to ta page about Young on her agent's website, and clearly would not exist without her approval I contend that it is significant, not spam, and should be restored.

I don't agree with that. Young's approval for the content is far from established. It's clearly a commercial link intended to promote the agent's business so the information it contains cannot be relied upon as neutral. WP:SPAMLINK asks editors to consider whether links are commercial before adding them. The content of the link beyond promoting Young's agent contains solely biographical material that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article and so is disqualified by the first clause of WP:ELNO. Agencies and business representatives have been banned for adding links to their websites from biographical articles, we shouldn't be doing their work for them.
