Fair use rationale for Image:Indianapolis Tennis Championships logo.jpg

Image:Indianapolis Tennis Championships 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 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.

1987

According to the ATP web site for the Indianapolis event, it started in 1987, so I added in the results from the event for that year. http://www.atptennis.com/en/tournaments/profile/419.asp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.107.39.18 (talk) 02:36, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Their has been consensus achieved on this matter, which was to Oppose the ideal of merger of these articles.BLUE _DOG^TN 04:43, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that all RCA Championships article by year be merged into Indianapolis Tennis Championships. The results merely restate what is already in the parent article, and, combined with references from verifiable sources, the other content in all the articles can make the parent article very comprehensive. Please discuss below. MuZemike (talk) 22:00, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: It would not be standard to move any sports individual yearly events under the main article. -- Mjquin_id (talk) 05:23, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Perhaps merge it and make the yearly events a redirect? Banaticus (talk) 00:29, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, per Mjquin. Other tournaments have not been thus merged and I don t see the need for such a precedent Mayumashu (talk) 06:57, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The two cities/tournaments should be treated as separate entities. The Indianapolis tournament should retain its page (with information on when it started and when it ended), and a page should be added for the Atlanta tournament with notes as the history of previous tournaments in Atlanta. The only mention of Indy on the Atlanta page should be that in 2010 the tournament sanction moved from Indy to Atlanta, but there shouldn't be any other connection between the two cities/tournaments. Let Indy be what it was, and allow Atlanta to be what it will be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.61.245.162 (talk) 15:33, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
