"Is it fair use?" is not the relevant question for inclusion, as Gerard pointed out very well. Our license requires that our content be reusable for any purpose, including commercial, and fair use content damages that goal. Therefore, the policy is that non-free content is prohibited, except when the content is essential and no free alternative is available and it meets US fair use requirements.
Absolutely. Our definition of fair use is intentionally much stricter than the legal one. I don't think anyone is disputing the definition given at the top of [[en:Wikipedia:Non-free content]], it just the interpretation of that definition which is causing trouble.
