message: :Image:Victor Stone-Cyborg.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.

message: The character bio is poorly written and impossible to understand.  It doesn't tell a story.  How did Victor Stone become part machine?  Why is a he a Cyborg?  The bio doesn't actually explain this, and the sections read like a bunch of unrelated stories copied and pasted together. Techielaw (talk) 15:51, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Cyborg (comics) →  – Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics)#Disambiguation. There was another DC Comics character in the past was also referred as Cyborg, who is Hank Henshaw, now more recognizes as Cyborg Superman. Also, "articles primarily about a publication should use the phrase (comics)", not on character.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 06:04, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

text: Shouldn't it be 'Cyborg (Character)' based on that policy? Because there aren't multiple characters called cyborg. blindlynx (talk) 19:51, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Henshaw is known as Cyborg Superman not Cyborg on its own so it’s far more likely than someone looking him up would type Cyborg Superman. There also was a failed request a few years back that should be addressed.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 02:30, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

text: The previous request to move this to (DC Comics) was rejected, has something changed since then? Also even if it needs to be moved I believe (character) would work since the only other relevant entry is Henshaw, who is better known as Cyborg Superman not Cyborg on its own.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 20:50, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I am just reiterating my belief that it is the proper target and the previous discussion was wrongfully rejected. There are too many Cyborg "characters" outside comics for the (character) disambiguation to function properly at all.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:01, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Would that be characters that are cyborgs or characters that specially known as cyborg since that is a different thing altogether? For example the Six Million Dollar Man would be a cyborg but I doubt anyone looking him up would type cyborg as a search term.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 21:20, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The notion of a cyborg as a stock character type would also potentially clash with it. We already have Supersoldier for example. There is just too much potential confusion.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:32, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Disambiguation is used to distinguish between existing articles, not potential ones. I think the hatnote is sufficient for readers looking for the only other character who's commonly called "Cyborg". I also trust readers looking for information about Cyborgs to find Cyborg without additional help. Argento Surfer (talk) 20:43, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
