Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.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 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.

We're not here to advertise
So please don't cram the page with TM, R, C or any other marks indicating proprietary information. I haven't been able to find any independent, reliable sources on this so far on Google News or books. They may be out there, but right now it's a lot of tangential mentions of people holding designations rather than discussion of the institute itself. Also, should it be moved? The page was a massive collection of WP:VANISPAM and I'd rather it did not return to that. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 14:34, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

There was no advertisements
CSI is the official Canadian securities regulator's (IIROC, former IDA) official educator, and as such the wikipedia should provide the information about it. The external links serve to prove the validity of information. It is irrelevant if there are no discussions about it on google. The page does not contain spam, bragging, nor non-validated information. If one still thinks that there are, please let him/her pin point exactly to the parts of the page he/she thinks violate the wiki standards, instead of deleting the whole page and reversing it to the stub. In fact, deleting the whole page by the user WLU is likely to be considered as vandalism in wiki standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vlad wiki (talk • contribs) 03:26, 31 October 2010 (UTC)


 * WLU's trim of the article was required by Wikipedia guidelines, as was my revert of the article today, because of the extensive use of copyrighted text from the CSI website in the article. —C.Fred (talk) 04:22, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Chartered Investment Manager into Canadian Securities Institute
The description of the certificate itself is purely advertorial in tone. Seems sufficient to be added to the article on the Institute. — Kochas 14:52, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
