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.

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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for File:1934Giants.jpg

message: The image :File:Miracle at the meadowlands.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.  In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Please check
:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.
The following images also have this problem:

message: Why is 1978 the cutoff point for this article?  It seems to me that 1975, when they moved to a new stadium, would be a more logical cutoff point.  I suppose 1978 does mark the low point in the team's history, but they continued to be lousy until the mid-1980s.  Timothy Horrigan (talk) 21:51, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I had to pick a break off point. 1979 is when they hired George Young and drafted Phil Simms. And the owners themselves make it clear that hiring Young was a huge turning point in the history of the franchise: Maybe I can make it more clear somehow.

thread_title:  Why 1978? 

message: This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. There is a certain amount of link rot, however. I tried to do something about this, but to limited effect. The problem is not serious enough to warrant a delisting, though.

message: No mention of the bribery scandal that took place prior to the 1946 NFL Championship Game? This hardly seems like a comprehensive Giants history article without mentioning it. Sd31263 (talk) 20:52, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
