[edit] Edith Shain

There's an article on Edith Shain that asserts very little notability other than that of the woman claimed to be the girl in this photo. Other stuff about her is minor and unsourced and even if true clearly related to or a result of this photo. I see no reason to retain a separate article about her, and suggest that anything worthwhile and sourced should be moved into this article. -- Hoary 06:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, it's a totally subsidiary topic lacking independent notability. FWIW, I don't even think she's the leading "candidate".--Pharos 17:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely. Especially since it's in doubt whether she's even the real nurse. How do we get these merged? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.63.3.206 (talk) 17:45, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to be bold and redirect her article to this one. She is completely non notable outside of the picture and the one source given is another wiki, which really has no reliability as a source. GrahameS 23:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Am-ny-kiss.jpg

Image:Am-ny-kiss.jpg 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.
