Summary
[edit]
| Description | This Gujarati sign on a shop in America says "good profit"; a Hindu charm, not an advertisement to the English speaking public. In studying Linguistic landscape, it shows an example where choice of language is not based on the prioty of communication of the message. |

| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Linguistic landscape |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | This will be used in the article Linguistic landscape, a good example of a sign in a language that is not meant to be read by the great majority of those who see it. Rather it is mystical. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
A crucial factor for keeping this image is its location, not merely the graphic content. The fact that it is posted in an English-speaking town (Sparta) in rural Wisconsin is an important factor for the article Linguistic landscape. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The image is small. It is envisioned that this image will be used in only one article. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
For one, there is no copyright indication on the sign. More importantly, the image is flawed so cannot be used to reproduce the original and reduce sales of the sign. If anything, the image may inspire other shop keepers to try to buy the original. |
