Fair use rationale for Image:Bj s14.jpg

Image:Bj s14.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

5x expanded by Nkon21 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:03, 17 November 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Hook is interesting, within prescribed limits and is well cited. AGF on sources written in Japanese. Images have no issues. QPQ completed. However, 5x expansion is short by 355 characters. Please add some more information and the article will be good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 22:21, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gwillhickers: I believe that the 5x threshold has now been reached. I also feel that this hook should be saved for December 25, any thoughts? ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 01:46, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. Article is good to go. Having the article listed on Dec. 25 would not be up to me. We can request that it would appear under DYK on that date:
: EDITOR IS REQUESTING THAT THE ARTICLE BE LISTED UNDER DYK ON DECEMBER 25 -- Gwillhickers (talk) 03:29, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Nkon and Gwillhickers: Actually, i don't think the hook checks out—the article does say that 'tis a christmas carol, and that it is super popular, and that it has been called Japan's "All I Want For Christmas Is You", but it doesn't say that that's because of its popularity around christmastime, nor does it say that this popularity spike actually occurs. Is there a sourcing groundwork for that? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 07:52, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Oops, Nkon21; we can always tweak the hook—in fact, we probably should leave out the explanation anyway. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 07:53, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, I'm going to go ahead and propose an ALT1, since Gwillhickers is offline and we're on a time crunch. SL93, could you take a gander? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 22:22, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oops, confused gwillhickers with gwennie-nyan—if anyone could approve alt1? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 00:44, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - ALT1 checks out. SL93 (talk) 01:06, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 promoted to Prep 3.
