Fair use rationale for Image:JayReatard.jpg

Image:JayReatard.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 Wikipedia: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.

Death reported

The Commercial Appeal has reported this. [1] Goner Records have also posted a notice on their site, as has Matador Records. [2] 86.44.44.230 (talk) 21:16, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Also from Pitchfork (http://pitchfork.com/news/37575-rip-jay-reatard/) and Matador (http://www.matadorrecords.com/jay_reatard/) and Goner Records (http://www.goner-records.com/). Seems legit ---Slayer13

{{editrequest}} Edit to lead, this or similar: It is reported that Jay Reatard died at home in the early morning of January 13. [above refs] 86.44.26.244 (talk) 21:29, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Pretty sure it's all fake, but I can't guarantee: http://boards.4chan.org/b/res/188532365 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.245.112.62 (talk) 22:38, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Should also be mentioned that his death is being investigated as a possible homicide. http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/theampersand/archive/2010/01/14/record-label-confirms-garage-rock-musician-jay-reatard-has-died.aspx --24.189.90.68 (talk) 04:11, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

The "possible homicide" thing is a hoax. I'd remove it, but Wikipedia editors are so fucking uptight about everything. --71.205.219.29 (talk) 05:11, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

The only media outlet that posted about a "possible homicide", MyFox Memphis, has since pulled the story. (It was here: [3]) I have removed this until this news is published by a reliable source that doesn't cite the MyFox Memphis article. dissolve^talk 08:02, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
