In accordance with the recent discussion on the wikipedia-l mailing list and Jimbo's pronouncements on the matter I have created
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fair_use
This page serves as a discussion page for debating whether an image or other file can legitmately be considered fair use, and whether all alternatives have been exhausted. Images and other files that may be eligible should not be used until there is consensus on the page to do so; on the other hand, they should not be deleted until there is consensus that they are not eligible for fair use.
Image pages that have undergone due process should be tagged with {{msg:verifieduse}}.
All pages which are currently tagged with {{msg:fairuse}} (many older ones link to [[fair use]] instead) should undergo due process on this page to determine whether their status as fair use is justifiable. If so, they should be tagged with {{msg:verifieduse}} instead, if not, they should be deleted and efforts should be made to seek free alternatives.
Whenever a previously fair use image is deleted, a link should be added to [[Wikipedia:Requested pictures]]. Images without any copyright information should either be deleted or undergo the fair use process.
No newly uploaded images should be tagged with {{msg:fairuse}}.

With this in mind I ma going to create a Wikipedia Image "Tag Team" to go round tagging unmarked images. I propose {{msg:unverified}}. Do we want to dump all these hundreds/thousands of this page? I can't see any other way of doing it, however.
