1, 2 and 4 are very good reasons to leave in my opinion. I'm not that strongly against fair use -- shouldn't articles about political parties contain their logos? 5 is not a problem at all -- let all people write about what they want to, as long as it meets our notability criteria. We should work on getting more people to write about historical and geographical articles, though, yes. —Nightstallion (?) 11:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, articles about political parties shouldn't contain their logos. The logos don't provide any essential information about the political party, so there's no reason to violate copyright like that. The "no fair use" policy is just about the only thing I like about de-wiki. I think my biggest problem with the fanboy articles is that they are predominantly original research, yet they are so well established that they will never be deleted on those grounds. Descriptions of fictional characters' personalities and behavior are based entirely on what the editor himself has observed, not on published sources. I'll add this to the page.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on fair use (though I agree that it's regularily overused in its extent). I concur with the OR problem of fancrufty articles, but would see no problems if they were cited; there's lots of websites about comics on the web which could be cited, I believe. —Nightstallion (?) 11:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
