| Date of publication | 4 May 1980 |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Danny Barber (serial killer) |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The photo function: (a) illustrates the lead topic of the article (b) specification of the arresting state and assigned TDCJ number (c) Year of arrest is within image, eliminating the need for a caption. Photo absence detrimental to article: (a) may lead to some editors not increasing content. (b) With low content the academic value is low, the article is currently an unassessed article at 2,704 bytes, created 18 April 2018. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
This image is not replaceable, research ended without the existence of a free alternative. Replacement is not viable in the case of a booking (mugshot) photo. Person in photo died in 1999, eliminating possibility of replacement. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
As a historical topic with no free image, providing this visual content will enhance some readers learning experience, while using free text to describe the murderer’s physical characteristics can be difficult for an editor and may reduce the academic value of the article. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Avoiding more non-free content use than necessary: The article covers a serial killer (4 victims) if this image is approved it will be the only non-free image of the criminal; the entire article currently (May 2018) has no images. Portion of work: Cropping of image, removed a combination of; 25 pixels from top & bottom edges (height); 20 pixels from left & and right edges (width), removed unnecessary background portions. Used the recommended Image Resize Calculator to ensure the file is in compliance as a low-resolution image. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
If this photo is subject to copyright, it belongs to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which is a government (public) service and not a commercial entity nor artist, and by ensuring this file will be implemented only as a low-resolution image it will therefore not infringe on the department of any monetary value. |
