Fair use rationale for Image:Fresh Start Detergent.jpg

Image:Fresh Start Detergent.jpg 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.

More recent information

I am a decades-long user of Fresh Start, which is no longer available from Colgate-Palmolive. I was pleased to discover that Wikipedia has an article on it. However, I found this web post (unfortunately, it's undated):

Why You Can't Find Fresh Start: Its Been Discontinued by George Hamilton (Crockett, California)

I spoke with Phoenix Brands ... On-line sellers must have bought up remaining stock...

I also found a small company that is bringing a highly similar product to market. Oaklandguy (talk) 03:16, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External link section added, with 1 such link.

I found an article which appears to have originated from some trade magazine. It isn't the ideal source; it indicates that the product was first marketed in the early 1980's, whereas I spotted an old ad for sale that was from 1978. But at least it's a reference. The article appears on various websites. I picked a site that seems to have a decent copy, and has a date which is the earliest I could easily find. I haven't worked it into the Wikipedia article as a reference. That would probably be better, but at least the article now has some sort of reference material. Hope this is OK.
