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.

message: Why do you delete my edits which mention the fact that the university was established on the ruins of an ethnically cleansed Palestinian village. This is a historically proved account by many prominant historians, including Israeli historians like Ilan Pappe.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.157.58 (talk) 19:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The above dispute stems from  and is about whether details about nationality, citizenship, origin, or demographic subgroups should be included in list entries (e.g.  for the entry:
*
Furthermore, the dispute also considers whether listings should include date or year of birth. — MarkH21talk 04:21, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose a third opinion on the first part of the question above has now been given by  here. — MarkH21talk 03:18, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I would add that it's a rare university, outside of some closed-border despotic state, that doesn't have multiple faculty members from other countries. The specifics of that have nothing to do with their notability or encyclopedic merit, with the notability of the institution, or anything else. It's just trivia.  The article on the academic is question is where to get into their citizenship and other details, as background information.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  03:27, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the input! Any thoughts about including years of birth (or birth & death)? I don't see them as being particularly relevant either, but it could be more useful context than nationality or demographics. Years when the people were at the university would provide that context in a more direct manner though. — MarkH21talk 11:52, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't feel strongly about it. We use dates in (biographical) disambiguation pages a lot, and that's a form of list (but it's also between people with similar names, so the rationale for the dating is different).  This isn't the kind of thing there would likely ever be a rule about, since the utility of dates in a particular circumstance might vary. E.g., an executives list for a company only 7 years old probably doesn't need anything like that, but a list of all notable Oxford U. professors, ever, would be very thick, and cover a quite wide span of time. Two extremes, with most things being in the middle. "Up to editorial discretion at the article", basically.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:37, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with that general principle (although I still think that for university articles, years at the university would be more useful than lifespan). This is probably an example where we should just use years at the university. — MarkH21talk 02:21, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
