Talk:Barrie Police Service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Keep article
This article was up for deletion. The city of Barrie is one of the bigger and older cities in Canada and definitely deserves a page on its police service given its history. It is also a part of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Law_Enforcement and thus should be kept. Spiral-architect 19:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- The added material convices me that the article may be kept. So I will not pursue deleting this article. But note that the membership of any WikiProject is no reason whatsoever to keep an article. Articles have to be judged on their own encyclopedic value, not on such self-referential or circular claims. -- Pepve 20:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BarriePoliceServiceCrest.gif
Image:BarriePoliceServiceCrest.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
