Removing Examiner.com and Blu-Ray Examiner reviews

I was looking at some of the external reviews and noticed that links to examiner.com are now pointing to the home page of a ticketing site, axs.com. The examiner reviews often come at the top of the external reviews pages, but according to Wiki this site has been defunct since July 2016. Can IMDb staff remove these links en masse? There must be 100s (or 1000s) of them. These also include some that are listed as "Blu-Ray Examiner".

As an example, this site appears in the top 3 places for external reviews on Unbroken (2014), but none of these reviews exist anymore, they all point to the ticketing site:

Hi there,

Thank you for pointing this out. I have now flagged this with the appropriate data manager.

Hi Nac,

These have now been removed. Please allow a couple of days for the changes to update on all parts of the site.

Thanks. Do you think you could also take a look at thecineholic.com? It's on the external reviews for Unbroken as well. It seems to be redirecting somewhere, but I didn't hang around to find out where!
