Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Benjamin Sheares
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of their biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	1. Image was released for promotional/educational purposes in Singaporean media online. 2. Few other images of this person appear to exist; it is needed to identify the person for educational purposes in an encyclopedia entry. 3. A replaceable free image for this person is impossible, as the person is deceased. 4. The photograph is of the subject of the article. It is not being used merely for decorative purposes in an unrelated article.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	Image will only be used in one article, in the infobox.
