Fair use rationale for Image:Marty McCann Priest.jpg

Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Image:Marty McCann Priest.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Personal national identification

The lead sentence says he is an "Irish actor from Northern Ireland". Does he identify as Irish, or Northern Irish? Can we get a citation? —Anomalocaris (talk) 18:40, 22 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Martin McCann (actor) → Martin McCann – Primary topic, does not need to be disambiguated in the title as there is only one alternative topic ~2025-33388-12 (talk) 12:10, 14 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Support: The article about this Martin McCann gets more pageviews. The article about the other Martin McCann is a stub that doesn't contain much. Thanks, 1isall (he/him) (talk | contribs) 12:31, 14 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Support. The actor, with a leading role in a critically acclaimed drama series amongst other roles, is definitely now the primary topic over the obscure singer. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:57, 14 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
