[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:UConn logo.jpg

Resolved. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 04:54, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:UConn 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 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 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.BetacommandBot 04:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting off Men's Basketball

Fuzzy510 (talk · contribs) posted the split template, but did not start a debate, so I'm starting it off.

Against - but not very strongly so. I don't really think there's enough material to be an independent article there.—Elipongo (Talk contribs) 21:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Against - also not very strongly. I feel that there should be a separate entry for UConn Men's Basketball in general, but in its current state the article isn't ready for the change. I think the article needs to be fleshed out a little more. I'll fill in some information, but I'm surprised there's so little there now. Toasterb 19:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Strongly for: it's precedent for schools with major college basketball programs to have a page just for basketball. In the Big East alone, Syracuse, Pitt, WVU, Louisville, and Georgetown all have their own basketball pages. UConn's program is probably on a level with these schools.

Strongly for: Connecticut has been a leader of Big East Basketball. Frankly, I'm disappointed that a program with such a history DOES NOT have their own article. It should be broken off, and expanded, ASAP.

Strongly for: I cannot believe UCONN's basketball team does not have it's own article with more information considering it's history. While there is not enough info in it's present state, splitting it off would lead to more data being integrated. --otduff ^t/_c 09:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Strongly for: After having edited Division I men's basketball articles, I am greatly surprised that Connecticut men's basketball does not yet have its own article. The Huskies have achieved enough, and have enough history, to have its own basketball article as a reward. Not having one puts the Huskies to shame as compared to West Virginia, Louisville, Syracuse, or even Florida Atlantic. FAU, for example, has appeared in the NCAA Tourney once, and lost in the first round, in 2002. If FAU, with only one postseason appearance, get its own men's basketball article, then Connecticut should rightly have its own at this time. --Thedarcinator ^t/_c 21:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.26.163.244 (talk)
