Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	A widely distributed photograph of the creators of Pong taken in 1973 at the Atari offices. From left to right: Ted Dabney, Nolan Bushnell, Fred Marincic, and Allan Alcorn
Author or copyright owner	Allen Alcorn (per [1])
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Used in various print media at the time of Pong's popularity (and since) Immediate source: [2] [3]
Date of publication	1973
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Ted Dabney
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of his/her biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	This shows Dabney (the subject of the article) along with the other founders of Atari and one of the Pong arcade machines. Dabney left Atari after a falling out that year, and then later left the computer industry altogether, otherwise living a private life. While there is a good chance that a free image of Dabney can be found at his elderly age, it does not demonstrate the work he was most recognized for, that being contributions to arcade games. Due to the falling out, there is also no likely free image of the four of these people (or even Dabney with Bushnell and/or Alcorn) together. This also is a historically significant picture, used frequently in discussing Atari and/or Pong's history.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The photo has been significantly reduced from full resolution. For the Ted Dabney article it is expected to only be used once, and the only non-free imagery needed.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The photo has been significantly reduced from full resolution. The image is not a press image, but currently owned/offered by the Computer History Museum.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: May 26, 2018
