Fair use rationale for Image:Metrophilly.jpg

Image:Metrophilly.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 ensure 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.

Requested move 19 June 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: move the page to Metro (Philadelphia newspaper) at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 06:42, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Philadelphia Metro → Metro Philadelphia – Seems to be the correct name; it already redirects here. Peter James (talk) 15:00, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that this page be moved to Metro Philadelphia (newspaper) for clarity, user friendliness. Otherwise it looks like the name of the local transit system (which no non-Philadelphian calls SEPTA.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:04, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral on Support proposal, ~~but~~ oppose adding "(newspaper)" as WP:OVERPRECISION. There's already a hatnote on the article. Station1 (talk) 05:41, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Metro (Philadelphia newspaper) per WP:CONSISTENCY with everything else at Metro#Newspapers. "Metro Philadelphia" is a made-up name; the name is Metro. Both that and "Philadelphia Metro" are ambiguous with at least two other things, so they fail as natural disambiguation. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 07:59, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- It does not appear to be a made-up name. It appears in the paper's masthead (last inside page, lower right) as well as this source. (I'm changing to support above.) The other uses on the dab page appear to be national uses, not specific editions, with each one (except Britain) covering multiple city editions. The only individual editions with articles that I see are Metro New York, Metro Daily for Hong Kong and Metro (Montreal newspaper) (which says it's also called Métro Montréal). It might make sense to merge Metro Philadelphia and Metro New York into Metro (U.S. newspaper). Station1 (talk) 02:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Metro (Philadelphia newspaper) over recently (and constructively) created redirect. Precedents, clarity, accuracy... ticks all boxes. Merge is a good suggestion but a separate issue. Andrewa (talk) 17:25, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
