Nonfunctional link

The external link www.darvoni.com brings up a warning page saying deceptive page ahead. Should it be removed? Merats (talk) 13:45, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

yes, and did so. Jytdog (talk) 19:09, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure about that "deceptive" warning (didn't get that), but the FDA source that's supposed to confirm that a trade name is Darvoni does not say anything of that kind. The website itself is very spammy and does not meaningfully improve our readers' understanding of the drug combination. The prominent "Order now" button doesn't make it any better. It should not be added to this article. Huon (talk) 16:22, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I use the chrome browser and when I clicked on the link, chrome provides a red landing page warning you that the website is deceptive and may "trick you into doing something dangerous...". That is what the "deceptive" is about. I agree that it is just a commercial site; that is a second reason to remove it. People add these pharma-company marketing links to articles about drugs from time to time, and we regularly remove them. Jytdog (talk) 21:20, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
