Image copyright problem with File:Carterjr101.jpg[edit]

The image File:Carterjr101.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.

Criteria for Scholars[edit]

It seems to me that there are far too many people listed as famous on this page, particularly under the category for professors and scholars. There are easily dozens, if not hundreds, of Bowdoin alumni who are currently academics. Not all of these are notable merely for being professors. I do not think someone deserves to be on this list if they do not have their own Wikipedia page.
