Fair use rationale for Image:Victor Stone-Cyborg.jpg[edit]
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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Cyborg (comics) → Cyborg (DC Comics) – It's easy to see how the current disambiguation is too vague. It's unclear whether it refers to any cyborg that appears in a comic book, or Cyborg the character. Adding "DC" would make it more obvious that it's a specific DC Comics character.

JasonBWilliams (talk) 20:08, 22 November 2017 (UTC)Cyborg is definitely too vague. [1]A quick search of titles in the Grand Comic Database (www.comics.org) lists 176 comic book stories with "cyborg" in the title. Over 40 of those are not published by DC Comics so definitely needs to be changed. Prime example of the Six Million Dollar Man who was also a cyborg.[reply]
While there are several titles with the term cyborg in is there any evidence that any other character is actually know as Cyborg specifically or are they simply identified as a cyborg? I also don’t see how the Six Million Dollar Man is relevant since as mentioned there is a difference between a character being a cyborg and being regularly identified as Cyborg by name which the commit database alone does not prove.--67.68.21.146 (talk) 02:38, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Oppose - the default title for a WP article is JUST the name of the topic. The purpose of adding disambiguation to a title is disambiguation, not to make the specific topic more identifiable from the title, much less exactly identifiable. The current disambiguation is sufficient to disambiguate from other uses of Cyborg - we have no other topic covered on WP named Cyborg in the comics category. Therefore, any additional disambiguation would be unnecessary, by definition. --В²C☎04:40, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
