Fair use rationale for Image:Ron Paul and Reagan.jpg

edit
 

Image:Ron Paul and Reagan.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.

Rice affiliation

edit

Archer did not graduate from Rice U. Why is he classified here as an alum?

William Reynolds Archer Jr.Bill Archer – "Bill" is the most WP:COMMONNAME; most national media certainly did not use his full name.

Bill Archer page has zero incoming links, so there won't be any issues with moving this article there. Also, the politician will be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, because Bill Archer (businessman) does not have as much notability. Arbor to SJ (talk) 16:13, 11 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Bill Archer has no incoming links because incoming links to dab pages (and their redirects) are routinely cleaned up. Is it certain that none of the other William Archers are known as "Bill"? Dekimasuよ! 08:35, 17 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Besides Bill Archer (businessman), none of the other William Archers are commonly known as Bill, especially those who lived before the 20th century. Arbor to SJ (talk) 05:39, 18 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
User:Necrothesp, do you disagree that the politician is the primary topic for "Bill Archer"? Dekimasuよ! 18:30, 19 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
...In the absence of any response here, support. Dekimasuよ! 23:16, 29 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
