| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Eraserhead |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The physical prop used to represent the infant is the subject of discussion of the film's production, as the techniques used have not been revealed and are the subject of much speculation. The actual on-screen representation of the child; and to a lesser extent the black-and-white cinematography; have also received a substantial amount of critical discussion. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Any image of the prop in question will also have come from the film and will fall under the same copyright status; the creators of the film and prop have never made it publicly visible. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The prop in question cannot be illustrated without screenshots or portions taken from the film, as it is entirely a visual reference point. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | This is an image of low resolution, using a lossy compression to reduce reproducibility, being used to illustrate a specific concept discussed at several points throughout the article. Its use should not extend beyond the article in question. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The fractional nature of the image (being one frame of an 89-minute film) should not impinge upon the copyright holder's ability to market the full film for profit. |
