Image of the proposed Transbay Terminal Tower I, part of the new San Francisco Transbay development in San Francisco, California. Image taken from the development's official website. The author of the image is the building's architect, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, and the developer, the Hines Group.

[edit] Fair Use Rationale

Released by the architect/developer to promote his/her product. This image is a promotional image from Pelli/Hines Group, and is the only image available for this new construction project. Since this is a proposed building, there are no images released depicting the building accurately save for those released by the architect and/or developer, which are all non-free and copyrighted. It is not a replaceable image. Until more information and images are released, there are currently no free images available. Therefore, this image is viable for use on Wikipedia.

The image is used in three articles. It is used in the actual San Francisco Transbay development article to illustrate one of the buildings in question. It is also used in the List of tallest buildings in San Francisco article to illustrate the Transbay Terminal Tower as being among the tallest proposed buildings in the city, and is used in List of tallest buildings in the United States to illustrate this particular building as being one of tallest proposed in the country. No free image counterparts can be found for any list to take the place of this image.

• There is no free-image equivalent that can be used to accurately portray the entire development's size and design.
• This image is used promotionally by the architect and developer.
• It is being used only for informative purposes.
• This meets the media-specific policy requirements.
• The image is used in at least one article.
• The image does not detract from the reputation of the architectural firm or the developing firm.
• The material contributes to the article by specifically illustrating a relevant section within the text about this building and its proposed height.
• The material is encyclopedic and otherwise meets general Wikipedia content requirements.

[edit] Licensing

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.
