Fair use rationale for Image:Greater Manchester County Council Arms.png
Image:Greater Manchester County Council Arms.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Oxford Street/Oxford Road
The address is ambiguous.

The Post Office postcodes database gives it as Palace Hotel, Oxford Road, MANCHESTER, M60 7HA. However the same postcode database gives a map showing (I assume correctly) that Oxford Street runs as far south as the river (Medlock) and clearly shows it as being on Oxford Street.

The Manchester City Council listed buildings site gives it as Oxford Street, as does the English Heritage listing.

The Palace Hotel's website gives the address as: Oxford Street, Manchester, M60 7HA.

Royal Mail get addreses wrong to a certain degree. In the town where I live they have it wrong when they say "Wroe Street, Pendlebury" when it's most definitely Wroe Street, Clifton - the location of Clifton Primary School. Ask any local in M27 and they'll tell you that's true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.31.250.59 (talk) 21:36, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Refuge Assurance Building → Palace Hotel, Manchester – In light of Special:Diff/728917947, the page appears to be a candidate for move. Looks like the building has been renamed for a while now. — Andy W. ( talk  · ctb) 17:27, 8 July 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 19:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Please can this page be moved and renamed to 'The Palace Hotel' this is not only the current and correct name of the building but as noted in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(definite_or_indefinite_article_at_beginning_of_name) this is the official and commonly used name of the hotel as can be seen at official website: http://www.palacehotelmanchestercity.co.uk/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phecommerce (talk • contribs) 13:29, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Possible CoI of editor
I noticed that User:Phecommerce changed the title of this building from its well-known name to a different name which includes a Principal Hotel chain branding. This editor, possibly co-incidentally but interestingly, has a contribution history that seems to consist almost exclusively, on editing/renaming of articles on hotels owned by de Vere or Principal. No consensus was obtained for this article's renaming/redirecting. I've pointed this out on his/her talk page and suggest they look at WP:COI. Straw Cat (talk) 23:39, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
