Summary[edit]
| Description | Photo of the late Dr. Jim Swan: Biologist, Chemist, and Whisky Expert |
|---|---|
| Author or copyright owner |
Unknown. |
| Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Original publication: Published on multiple sites that worked with the person in question. Original source unknown. Photo presumably taken in Kavalan Distillery Immediate source: https://todowhisky.es/2017/02/fallece-jim-swan-leyendas-whisky/ |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Jim Swan |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of their biographical article |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The person featured in this image was well-known in his respective industry, and the respective businesses in the industry reuse these same images from one another. I have personally contacted these businesses in emails in attempts to find the original copyright holder of pictures that may represent him.
While there are many images of him available on the internet, I was unable to find one with a clear source/publisher (blogs and businesses in the industry seem to have sourced images from one another), and was unable to find an image with a cc-by-sa 4.0 license. I believe this image was taken in Kavalan Distillery, as when I contacted them about a similar-looking (but different) photo, they confirmed that the photo (not this one) was taken within their distillery but that they do not have the rights to share it; they did not inform me of the copyright holder's identity. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | This article should only be used on a single page, Jim Swan, for the sole purpose of serving as a representation of a deceased individual of whom no free and representative photo could be found. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The picture holds no discernable trace to its original copyright owner, and thus does not provide commercial opportunities in and of itself. Furthermore, this and very similar images (presumably taken during the same shooting) are widely available on the internet (again, with no discernable trace to the original publisher/copyright owner).
A similar version of this image is also used by the deceased person's former LinkedIn page, implying that this image represents the person in question. |
| Other information | The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: February 14, 2017 |
