Editors who work with external sites importing data from MusicBrainz (most prominently setlist.fm) add inappropriate, dead or duplicate links to many artists as a workaround for the automatic deletion of empty entities.

Artists with few information online or sites to link to also are sometimes being linked to the same inappropriate site, in this case hundreds of them:
