__TOC__

== Summary ==
Due to persistent abuse, Examiner.com is on the [[WP:SPB|Wikipedia spam blacklist]], and links must be [[Wikipedia talk:WHITELIST|whitelisted]] before they can be used. Examiner.com is considered a [[WP:SPS|self-published source]], as it has minimal editorial oversight. Most editors believe the site has a poor reputation for accuracy and fact-checking. Prior to 2004, the examiner.com domain was used by the ''[[San Francisco Examiner]]'', which has moved to a different domain. Examiner.com was shut down in 2016; website content is no longer accessible unless archived.
