Talk:List of works based on Peter Pan

Fair use rationale for Image:PeterPan1.jpg
Image:PeterPan1.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 ensure 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.

Fair use images
Contrary to what User:Papa November asserts in his edit summaries, fair-use images are permitted in "list" articles. There are even guidelines for how it should/n't be done. It says that "non-free images should be used judiciously to present the key visual aspects of the topic" and "images that are used only to visually identify elements in the article should be used as sparingly as possible." I believe the usage in this article was both judicious and sparing. It says that "It is inadvisable to provide a non-free image for each entry in such an article or section," and the article did not. The guidelines say to restrict usage "as agreed to by editor consensus", and there is no basis in these guidelines for the unilateral removal of all fair use images from the article. - JasonAQuest (talk) 16:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops - it looks like I've been a bit overzealous. However, in the context of this article, there were only actually two images with non-free fair use rationales for them to appear here.  I've added them both back in to the article, but their fair use rationales really need a lot of work still.  It's still unclear from the fair-use rationales why you specifically need to show Image:PeterPan1.jpg and Image:PeterPanPoster2.jpg.  Are those productions especially notable?  As said in the guidelines, it's inadvisable to provide an illustration for every list item.  You'll need to decide which items (if any) need to be illustrated, and how best to do it.

Self published?
Isn't R Scott Leatherwood's prequel self-published as well? Global Quest Publishing is not a mainstream publisher and its president is the author himself. Looks suspiciously like vanity press to me... Stelmaris (talk) 14:33, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I hadn't noticed that, but you're apparently right. - Jason A. Quest (talk) 16:01, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

 * This is self published on Createspace. Are there any independent reliable sources? Darrelljon (talk) 07:35, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Totally agree. Stelmaris (talk) 21:38, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Some of the titles remaining are merely 'inspired by' the characters and some titles are prequels, canonical or in-universe sequels so there might be better ways to distinguish these. Darrelljon (talk) 23:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

How about we create a section of self-published works on the List of works based on Peter Pan as some Peter Pan's NeverWorld and Peter Pan: Betwixt-and-Between by Peter Von Brown use the exact unused notes and drafts from Sir J. M. Barrie https://www.amazon.co.uk/Peter-Wendy-Restored-Text-Annotated/dp/098237142X Don't you think he therefore deserves to have his work with the other List of works based on Peter Pan CSOOCS (talk)  — Preceding undated comment added 11:09, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia frowns on self-published sources, see the policy at WP:SPS. Peter Pan's NeverWorld (2008) is self-published at Lulu and Peter Pan: Betwixt-and-Between (2013) is self-published at CreateSpace. I looked for suitable sources on Peter Von Brown (see WP:RS) and only found a single one at https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780203139172/peter-pan-shadows-literary-imagination-kirsten-stirling. By way of contrast, Peter Pan in Scarlet (Oxford University Press, 2006) is a sequel authorised by Great Ormond Street Hospital so has an authenticity in that sense that the others do not. Darrelljon (talk) 20:13, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Then at least allow in the article of List of works based on Peter Pan a nod to Peter Von Brown since he is recognized as J.M. Barrie scholar For your suitable sources I suggest looking into webpages regarding Honors at Knox College, I'm sure his distinction is on the website somewhere otherwise where would the likes of amazon get it from? Since clearly both of you are established Users Darrelljon and Stelmaris CSOOCS (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 23:40, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Amazon don't write the description, publishers/authors do themselves. Amazon also wouldn't check claims in the description. Only one irrelevant result comes up for Peter Von Brown when I search at Knox College https://www.knox.edu/google?q=peter%20von%20brown Darrelljon (talk) 03:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Where would we draw the line on what self-published work is acceptable and what isn't? Von Brown probably wrote his own blurb on Amazon. His ideas for the sequel and prequel might have been inspired by Barrie's notes, but that doesn't mean the execution was remarkable in any way. The fact that mainstream publishers did not take him up does suggest that his works were not up to standard - so he paid to get them published, without proper editing. The same would apply to other vanity publishing authors. Please let's leave self-published works out of Wikipedia. Stelmaris (talk) 06:48, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Category:Self-published books has 129 pages and Peter Von Brown's works may be remarkable and sought after (now or in future) by mainstream publishers, a high standard and well-edited, but inclusion in Wikipedia is according to policies on reliable sources. There are barely any on Peter Von Brown despite using custom searches available at WP:FIND via WP:RS. Is his scholarship available anywhere or any reference to it?
