Rationale for fair use in Patsy Cline
Description:

Image of deceased country singer Patsy Cline ( 1932 - 1963 ), photographed by Les Leverett at WSM studios in Nashville, TN, USA .
Source:
Rationale for use on wikipedia:

1.No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject - no free images have been allocated for this person.
2.The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
3.The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy.
4.The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above.
5.The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
6.The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
7.The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
8.No free images have been allocated for this person
9.The image is needed to identify the person for educational purposes in an encyclopedia entry and significantly improves the quality of the article.
10.The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.
11.A replaceable free image for this person is impossible as he/she is deceased
Resolution:

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Compatibility with wikipedia?:

Use of image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

[edit] Licensing

Copyright undetermined This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

  • the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
  • where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
  • on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Warning sign

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

To the uploader: This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media. Please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the image and copyright information. Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.
