| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Forever (Mariah Carey song) |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample is taken. The section of the music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song (retro-style composition, waltz form, lyrics, Carey's performance) which received critical commentary and are mentioned in adjacent text. The sample includes words from the chorus which includes the song title "Forever" and thus helps readers understand the major theme of the song and connects the title with the lyrics, sound, and delivery. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
As a sample from a copyright musical recording, the sample is not replaceable by free content; any other sample from the same recording would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different sample would be misleading as to the identity of the work. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
A music piece is best illustrated with a sound sample, since text or image alone cannot convey the work. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The sample lasts for no longer than 10 percent of that of the original recording. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
It would not replace the original market role of the original copyrighted material as it is only 21 seconds in length compared to the song's full length of 4 minutes and 1 second and at a significantly lower quality than the original. It could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording. |
| Other information | The audio sample is a copyrighted work. U.S. copyright laws apply to this work. Should a free or public domain sample be located, it should be used in place of this audio sample. The use of this excerpt is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the article without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was extracted. |
