I came across this answer in the late answer review queue which was a link only answer.

The link that the user gave did not belong to any official or government website. It is more of a forum and support website. I understand, links are generally helpful to prove the credibility of the content. However there is nothing else besides the link in that answer.

There is a mod comment, asking the OP for explanation but there are no updates after that.

I flagged it as VLQ, however it was declined by a moderator.

So my question is, are link only answers allowed on Expatriates?

I don't have a problem with this. I just want to know the right action in this case.
