This media was proposed for deletion as a replaceable non-free content. It was reviewed by an administrative user, or another user, who declined the deletion, judging that no adequate free-licensed file exists or can be created to fulfill the limited role performed by this file at the time deletion was considered. However, this file may be replaceable by a free file in other contexts, and in such cases the free file must take precedence. A discussion of this decision may exist on the file talk page.
This template is for proposed files only. For non-proposed files, use {{Do not replace-F7}} instead. |
Fair use rationale
[edit]The use of this image on Wikipedia is contended to be a fair use and not fail Wikipedia's non-free content criterion,
- Is a important building in Sri Lankan history since it was the former home of a Prime Minister of Ceylon, and RAF HQ and currently Sri Lanka's sole defence University.
- It is a image of a building in a restricted military area, hence out of bounds for the public for the time being and where photography is restricted.
- Since it is used solely for educational purposes in a not-for-profit encyclopedia,
- It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality)
- The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
- No free or public domain images have been located for this item,
- The material value of the possible copyright is not believed to be lessened by its use here.
