Declined My concern revolves around the page that this external link goes to. On the page, there are links to R. Silverstein's translated texts — but there are also links to Amazon prominently featured next to the CC-BY texts. These links were not prominently displayed in other translated texts found on the other external links requests approved by me recently. Wikipedia can't be seen as promoting Amazon, and having an external link in an article which directs readers to a page filled with links to Amazon, I'm afraid that might give that impression.

Spintendo: Yeah - I hear that. You're right. We have those links up there because his family requested it, but it does make for a much more commercial page than we usually allow. There are way too many texts to have them linked directly from this article. I do think it's worthwhile for anyone interested in his work to know that the lion's share of it is online, though. In this context would it make sense to say in the body of the article that "Much of his translations were released with a CC-BY license and made public on Sefaria"?
