Links should not be (but have been) deleted from Wikipedia if they have encyclopaedic value simply because of material "that we don't like" that happens to be hosted on the same website.
Well, let's be honest, the number of links in that category is somewhere between three and ten. Ever. So it's not *that* big a problem, although it makes sense to try to help good-faith editors not to make the same mistake again.
The problem is not so much that the links were removed, but that some people are still defending the removal as the right thing to have done.
And on that note, I'm also going to bow out of this round of the BADSITES debate. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who will be celebrating it.
