Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Nick Cotton
Description	Promotional image of the character Nick Cotton (John Altman) in Albert Square, fictional setting of the BBC One soap opera EastEnders.
Source	Digital Spy, for promotion of the character's time in the series.
Article	Nick Cotton
Portion used	Cropped.
Low resolution?	Yes, so as not to violate copyright laws.
Purpose of use	The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the character in the medium of the TV series. It facilitates critical commentary by providing an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than textual description alone. The promotional shot does not limit the copyright owner's right to distribute the television drama in any way. It is being used for informational purposes only, and it is not considered to detract from the television show in any way.
Replaceable?	As a promotional (nonfree) image, the image is not replaceable by free content; the copyright holders have not released similar images into public domain or allowed free use, and any other screenshot would be similarly copyrighted. A free image of the actress would not be true to the original character. It would not feature the character's typical hairstyle, which differs from the actor's own and is styled before each performance, or his manner of dress, which has been heavily criticized over the years. It would also not feature the identifiable EastEnders setting, which amplifies the incongruity of the character, thus rendering it inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use will not affect the value of the original work that has been published elsewhere on the Internet or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original.

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 as established by these terms of use.

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 Copyright law of the United States. 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.

Warning sign

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale must be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.
