Natural Capital Committee website expiry[edit]

The External Link to the former website of the Natural Capital Committee has been removed for the following reasons:

the domain name expired in 2015
Defra decided not to renew it as content had been archived (as at Jan 2015) and was being relocated to the GOV.UK domain in accordance with gov policy.
a third party purchased the naturalcapitalcommitte.org domain name and for reasons unknown to Defra, repopulated the site with very old, out-of-date NCC content from 2014.

Wheels are also 'very old'. That doesn't make them out of date.
Describing something st up less than 8 years ago as 'very' old suggests bias / hidden agenda.
An obvious reason for reinstating information is to put it back in the public domain after it was, possibly, removed by government because it didn't fit a current agenda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.218.245 (talk) 16:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ownership of the naturalcapitalcommittee domain name is no longer with the NCC or Defra, and is no longer connected with it.
inclusion of an expired website is liable to be confusing, rather than helpful to users of this page.

If required, I can substantiate this position with emails sent to me from Defra, should my action be challenged. It was done in good faith and simply to assist users. Parkywiki (talk) 10:13, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
