Image issues[edit]

The fair use of image:Fantomencover.jpg in this article is questionable. Listed below is/are the reason(s) for this:
• Minimal use: As few non-free content uses as possible are to be included in each article and in Wikipedia as a whole. Full policy
• Significance: Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase, or its lack would significantly hinder, understanding the topic of the article. Full policy

It doesn't seem appropriate to use an illustration of what is essentially someone elses character to show "One of David Bishop's stories appeared here." It does not help a reader's understanding, and it is essentially decoration.

If the above concern(s) can be addressed in light of the relevant policies and/or guidelines, the image use can be retained. If not, the image needs to be removed from the article.

The issue with Fantomencover.jpg has been addressed.

Middle name[edit]

"James" was unsourced, and he has just published a book under the name "D. V. Bishop" (definitely the same person), so I've taken James out. Richard75 (talk) 20:52, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
