Just to stir the pot a little, on Physics SE when end up [allowing them within certain limits](https://physics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4697/are-resource-recommendations-allowed/). Though I was against it I would say that the results were rather better than I expected. We did set up a post notice for the category that reads: > **Before answering, please see our policy on resource recommendation questions.** Please write substantial answers that detail the style, content, and prerequisites of the book, paper or other resource. Explain the nature of the resource so that readers can decide which one is best suited for them rather than relying on the opinions of others. **Answers containing only a reference to a book or paper will be removed!** Those question do attract some rather poor answer but the community usually does a good job of voting those down, and it doesn't take too much moderator effort to enforce the rule about expanding on the link. After that experience my position here would be **"We have to set some ground rules if we're going to do that."** rather than an outright contrary position.
