Fair use rationale for Image:Victor Stone-Cyborg.jpg

Image:Victor Stone-Cyborg.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.

Requested move 17 November 2017

Cyborg (comics) → Cyborg (DC Comics) – It's easy to see how the current disambiguation is too vague. It's unclear whether it refers to any cyborg that appears in a comic book, or Cyborg the character. Adding "DC" would make it more obvious that it's a specific DC Comics character. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 15:07, 17 November 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Mahveotm (talk) 15:31, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Actually, I think it would be more appropriate to rename it as Cyborg (DC Comics character).--NeoBatfreak (talk) 12:01, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Aside from Hank Henshaw, who is also a DC Comics character, how many other characters are known as Cyborg? Per the Comics MOS, Cyborg (character) is preferred unless there is a conflict. That page currently redirects to a DAB page. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:07, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

JasonBWilliams (talk) 20:08, 22 November 2017 (UTC)Cyborg is definitely too vague. A quick search of titles in the Grand Comic Database (www.comics.org) lists 176 comic book stories with "cyborg" in the title. Over 40 of those are not published by DC Comics so definitely needs to be changed. Prime example of the Six Million Dollar Man who was also a cyborg.

While there are several titles with the term cyborg in is there any evidence that any other character is actually know as Cyborg specifically or are they simply identified as a cyborg? I also don’t see how the Six Million Dollar Man is relevant since as mentioned there is a difference between a character being a cyborg and being regularly identified as Cyborg by name which the commit database alone does not prove.--67.68.21.146 (talk) 02:38, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Character Bio is Incomprehensible

The character bio is poorly written and impossible to understand. It doesn't tell a story. How did Victor Stone become part machine? Why is a he a Cyborg? The bio doesn't actually explain this, and the sections read like a bunch of unrelated stories copied and pasted together. Techielaw (talk) 15:51, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
