Fair use rationale for Image:Kj2typeccp7.png
Image:Kj2typeccp7.png 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.

Re: recent page move
I'd like to request an explanation as to why my request to take the page name/dispute to the Talk page was ignored when I moved the page back to where I feel it should be, since it's the proper name of the group, and how the quoted guidelines apply to this article. I don't see how the Trademarks guidelines apply to band names. I don't mean to cause trouble, but NEWS (J-pop group) had a similar problem previously with naming, and it was decided to use the proper name of the band. It's not quite the same, that was just a case of capitals, and this is a symbol in the name, but I still think the article should be Kanjani∞ not "Kanjani Eight", as the latter is simply not the name of the band.

 * See WP:MUSTARD for clarification. - Cyrus XIII 19:46, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * While I would tentatively agree with renaming of the article, I don't agree with renaming of the group within the article itself. The eternity symbol plays large role in the group's history and there are no reason to remove it from the article. Smallq 07:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * There is, since our formatting guidelines would be pretty much useless if they were to apply only to article titles. - Cyrus XIII 07:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I would've thought that this case will be treated similar to Prince's Symbol or 98 Degrees band. Both of them have their symbols in the template or in titles of albums and singles, as well as within the articles. Smallq 13:29, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite of Article
A complete rewrite of the article was done because the article came off more like an biased fansite than an unbiased factual article. I want to propose that all member activities remain in each member's personal wikis. All activities not associated with Kanjani8 as a group remain off of the wiki article itself unless it, in some way, affects the group or involves the group as a whole. The previous article was just cluttered with nonsense so hopefully this rewrite will eliminate the "fangirl bias" that plagued the previous article.

Also, since Uchi is no longer an official member of the group I wish to propose that all his activities remain out of the K8 article just because his activities have no relation or tie in to the group's activities. There is a strong bias for this young man in fandom and wishes for his return, which is highly understandable, but because Wikipedia must remain as factual as possible, his solo activities have no reason to be in the Kanjani8 article itself. They should remain at his wiki page.

Kanjani Eight → Super Eight (group) – The group had officially renamed John123521 (Talk-Contib.) 23:58, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose so far. We do not necessarily use WP:OFFICIAL names. The current title of the article appears to remain the WP:COMMONNAME in English, and all of their music has been released under that name. Evidence that this has changed would be necessary. Dekimasu よ! 15:29, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Management
The article says the group is managed by Johnny & Associates. If I understand correctly, that company was split up and no longer exists. Are they managed by its successor Starto Entertainment? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:10, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
