Image:Franklyn.gif 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.

I object to the proposed deletion of this article. I'm a little out of my depth here, so please bear with me. Franklyn MacCormack is mentioned and linked in the Wikipedia article "Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band." I recognized his name from my earlier days living in Chicago and was pleased to follow the link and find this article which refreshed my memory of this radio personality. That he had some prominence outside Chicago is shown by the fact that the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, a 1960's British novelty band associated with people like the Beatles and Monty Python, used his name in their most famous routine. (Also, his radio program was heard in many states.) The idea that this article should be deleted because of only local Chicago interest seems not to be based in fact. Even if it were true, there are an enormous number of Wikipedia articles with only niche interest. Having a limited audience should not disqualify an article, whether the niche is, say, people who were alive during the subject's lifetime, or people who lived in a certain area, or, simply, fans of the subject. I hope my comments are pertinent. Unfortunately, I have no ability to search for original sources, which are also requested in the notice of possible deletion. 216.195.203.103 ( talk) 17:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I came to this this page because I wanted to learn more about the voice heard on a motivational recording published by the Stanford Institute. I bought one of their gold-colored vinyl recordings in 1968. The records sold nationwide. Franklyn MacCormack worked in an era when announcers often had voices which radiated high quality and commanded authority. My recording is designed to boost confidence, and it belies the description of his voice as "gloomy." Franklyn MacCormack covers some of the same territory as Earl Nightingale, another Chicago-based announcer who made motivational recordings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.202.73 ( talk) 10:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
