Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Steven Beale
Description	Promotional image of Aaron Sidwell as Steven Beale in Albert Square, fictional setting of the BBC Soap Opera, EastEnders.
Source	EastEnders' Aaron Sidwell says it was an "odd decision" for the soap to kill off Steven Beale - Digital Spy
Article	Steven Beale
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 subject, illustrating a single educational article. It is not otherwise possible to accurately describe the appearance of the character solely through a textual medium sufficient to create a picture in one's mind, so the image is significant in illustrating the subject of the article, facilitating critical commentary as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.
Replaceable?	As a promotional (nonfree) image, the image is not replaceable by free content; the copyright holders have not released similar images into the public domain or allowed free use of existing copyright images, and any other screenshot would be similarly copyrighted. While a free image of the actor could be found, any such version is not true to the original character as the subject of this article and would be 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. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the video.

Licensing

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

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.

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.
