Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original image. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. |
Purpose of use |
Identification and critical commentary in the The Gentle People article, a subject of public interest. The image confirms to readers they have reached the correct article, and illustrates the group. |
Replaceable? |
No free alternative could be created to clearly illustrate the topic in question. The band have been split for over a decade, and a new one is unlikely. A free contemporary image would not convey the same information. |
Other information |
Use of the promotional photograph in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopaedic. |

- its inclusion adds significantly to the article because it illustrates the article's primary subject matter; and
- it is irreplaceable by a free image as the band is defunct and the bassist is dead.
