Fair use rationale for Image:Pacific backlot logo.jpg
Image:Pacific backlot logo.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.

Independent References Lacking - This is a company puff piece
I removed a number of broken links that led to non-working pages. These were to pages published by the Mclean Group and the remaining two references are the same.

Wikipedia articles should use reliable, third-party, published sources. Reliable sources are credible published materials with a reliable publication process; their authors are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand.

Proposed Deletion
The prod of this article is being discussed at WP:BC. See WP:ORG for notability guidelines for companies. -- KenWalker | Talk 04:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Ties to BC Liberals and relationship to CN
David McLean's name has surfaced in relation to the Railgate scandal, in his being seen with the Premier and Patrick Kinsella during the bidding, in his capacity as chair of CN Rail.....shouldn't CN rail be mentioned here? Or is his role in the McLean Group distinct from his role on the board of CN? Also while it's not normal procedure on Wikipedia pages to chart political donations by companies, I found this last night which was at least of some passing interest here, I'd think....Skookum1 (talk) 14:40, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
