[edit] Gravure Idol Jo

can we agree to delete the Gravure Idol Jo link as it requires subscription to view anything other than the front page? 67.189.69.43 04:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the site is free. Read the FAQ section of the site. --Snkcube 08:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the original poster and favor removing the link, please. Most of the content there requires registration to view, and whether the registration is free or not is irrelevant: Wikipedia:External links recommends avoiding "[l]inks to sites that require payment or registration to view the relevant content." (emphasis mine) And what little content there is which can be viewed without registration, is already available from her official website and/or from the other links provided, making this link superfluous and unnecessary. According to the same guidelines page, "... it is not Wikipedia's purpose to include a comprehensive list of external links related to each topic. No page should be linked from a Wikipedia article unless its inclusion is justified. ... Links should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links, or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links." Please remove the link. 202.210.198.117 22:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

There is no registration, nor is any kind of membership required for the galleries (which is exactly the section you went for), hence your argument is moot - if you can't be bothered to read the information on the site, that's your problem. Furthermore, the information about the idols (i.e. recent news, reviews, autobiographical info, bibliography) makes it at least as relevant as the others and is one of the few English sources for actual information about Yoko, as opposed to just kiddies surfing for pics. The other links do not provide any of that. Leave the link. 61.116.117.217 12:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
