A bunch of the links on that site's left sidebar 404 too. Emailed the listed site maintainer to ask.

    Remove sentence with link that no longer has the PDL info

    The only link available is on the Internet Archive's Wayback machine.
    There is no other source available and even Wikipedia uses the Wayback
    links in their references.  Remove the whole sentence and merge the
    resulting single-sentence paragraph into the one above.

Removed the sentence with the broken link, as no other source to the PDL descriptions seem available elsewhere. PR closed.
