Author or copyright owner	Family members of Murdoch
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Widely distributed in the press and media from 29 September 1983 onwards, on behalf of Police Scotland Immediate source: https://www.scotland.police.uk/what-s-happening/news/2021/september/officers-appeal-for-information-38-years-since-george-murdoch-was-murdered-in-aberdeen/
Date of publication	29 September 2021
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Murder of George Murdoch
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) There are no free images of the man available online or anywhere else 2) The man died 39 years ago, and so a free image will not be published now 3) There are only a few images available of Murdoch anywhere, and none of them are free
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	1) The image has been cropped from the original to only show the man's face 2) It has been reduced in size to only 144 x 173 3) It will only be used to identify the subject of the article on the article about him, and no where else
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	1) This image was intentionally widely distributed in the press and in the media to appeal for information on his murder. Police Scotland who did this would not have intended to exploit commercial opportunities by doing this and will not intend to now 2) The image has already been widely published in the media, meaning very limited commercial opportunities for using the image now. Examples are here: https://www.scotland.police.uk/what-s-happening/news/2021/september/officers-appeal-for-information-38-years-since-george-murdoch-was-murdered-in-aberdeen/, here: https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-news/mystery-fish-chip-shop-customer-26463890, here: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/unsolved-strangled-taxi-drivers-family-7474319 and here: https://news.stv.tv/north/taxi-driver-murder-reward-doubled-to-20000-to-find-cheese-wire-killer 3) The image has been reduced in size to only 178 x 171 and is of low resolution quality, the owner could still exploit commercial opportunities from using the much larger, better quality image 4) The image has been cropped from the original, meaning the owner still will have commercial opportunities by using the full original, non-cropped image
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 29 September 1983
