Fair use rationale for Image:La Republica Frontpage.jpg
Image:La Republica Frontpage.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 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.

Requested move 6 September 2023

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. The Peruvian newspaper is the clear primary topic as shown by Dekimasu. WP:MALPLACED is not applicable to this request. (closed by non-admin page mover) – Material  Works  20:41, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

– Second request is in line with the statements at WP:MALPLACED. The first was first initiated by in February and got reverted by  on grounds of undiscussed and that it is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in March; see this diff. I stumbled upon it at WP:RMCD and listed it at WP:RMTR, with my rationale based on the weight of the content of the original article which is currently classified as a stub, which to me bodes no well for a so-called primary topic, as I know primary topics have more weight that this. Also, the title is clearly undefined per the content of the disambiguation page and MALPLACED, as stated already. Page movers have agreed to have this RM listed here so as not to return to this "deadlocked" situation again and have it get out of hand. Intrisit (talk) 07:02, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * La República → La República (Peru)
 * La República (disambiguation) → La República
 * Oppose. There are three entries on the disambiguation page: a secondary school with a partial title match that would almost certainly be deleted at AfD (1 view a day last month), a defunct newspaper in Uruguay (1 view a day last month), and a publication in Peru that appears to be one of two main national newspapers in the country. The Peruvian newspaper is historically significant for its opposition to the authoritarian Fujimori government. The media outlet in Uruguay appears to have been renamed "Grupo R Multimedio" at some point (I am not sure whether it was just rebranding, or it was subsumed by a different company) and the first hit in a Google search for "'La República' Uruguay" is the Peruvian newspaper's coverage of Uruguay. Of the three entries on the dab page, it seems clear that the Peruvian newspaper is the primary topic according to both criteria listed at WP:PRIMARYTOPIC regardless of whether the article (which is perhaps closer to start class) would benefit from expansion. Dekimasu よ! 07:59, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. So why not list the other 2 entries at the DAB page at AFD?! That way, we won't return to this topic! Intrisit (talk) 19:21, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If someone were to list the high school at AfD after doing a more thorough check for sources, I would have no issue with that; the Uruguay newspaper article should probably remain (perhaps under a different title). If you would like to initiate some of those discussions, please feel free, but with the articles we have now there is nothing inherently wrong with the current setup that would require us to return to a discussion of renaming the Peruvian newspaper. It is common to have a primary topic when there are multiple entries of fringe notability on a disambiguation page; there is no special reason to avoid it. Dekimasu よ! 03:07, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment No opinion on the issue of primary topic, but for clarity,, what do you mean by citing WP:MALPLACED? Malplaced disambiguation pages occur when "X" redirects to "X (disambiguation)". That isn't the case here. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:08, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I cited "Malplaced" on the basis of the exact opposite of what you just gave, i.e. "X (disambiguation)" to "X" given by the page histories of these examples I've worked on, first, second and and third, as they were perceived as not having clear primary topics (excluding/not counting this one). Since Dekimasu has given the statement on which is the primary topic for this title, I withdraw from citing DAB on this title again. Intrisit (talk) 19:52, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
