Fair use rationale for Image:Olabandlogo.jpg

edit
 

Image:Olabandlogo.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.

Ola High School (Georgia)Ola High SchoolOla High School (Arkansas) has closed so Ola High School (Georgia) is the primary topic for "Ola High School". Move this page over the base name disambiguation page which is not required (WP:2DABS). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:47, 29 May 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:11, 7 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose - how does a change in one school's operational status affect which is the primary topic? That argument only makes sense if you view Wikipedia as a directory, which it is not. That being said, both articles at hand are very poorly written and in drastic need of improvement. It appears the school in Arkansas is at least 6 years older than the article says, and likely much older than that, actually making it the more likely prime topic.

@John from Idegon:My logic was since neither is particularly notable, a user is more likely to be searching for an open school than a closed one. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 06:10, 31 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
The applicable portion of the guideline you cited in your nom is WP:PTOPIC, which seems to me to suggest one of two things: Status quo, or simply delete the DAB page. John from Idegon (talk) 12:36, 31 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
@John from Idegon:. Either there's a primary topic—which I suggest there is—which should be at the base name (this requested move); or there isn't (status quo). A deletion of the dab page at the base name would then enable a move of the primary topic to the base name: those two steps are the same as this RM. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:53, 31 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
DAB pages are not required when there are only two items. That can be covered by hatnotes, and indeed already is. You've not made any showing of a primary topic, just your IMO faulty logic that somehow the extant item is somehow automatically the prime topic. George Wallace?

@John from Idegon: Perhaps this is why we're talking at cross-purposes. "Dab pages are not required when there are only two items" if one of the items is a primary topic. If there's no primary topic there must be a dab page. You can't have Foo (thing) and Foo (other thing) without Foo, where Foo is a dab page at the base name, and you'd also need Foo (disambiguation) as a redirect per WP:INTDAB. So let's decide that the open school is the primary topic, and these 2 marginally-notable schols can occupy 2 article titles instead of 4. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:28, 1 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
