Description: Ralph Thomas Scurfield, President of Nu-West Group Limited, 1979.
This image was scanned from page 2 of the “Nu-West Group Limited Annual Report 1979” which does not identify the photographer and makes no claims of copyright. It is believed that this photograph was taken in 1979 for the purpose of promotion and public publication, and that at that time it was freely distributed to the media for publication. It is believed that this photograph has been placed by its creator into the public domain, however, this is not made clear at its source. Therefore, as I am unable to discover clear source information, I am using the image here under fair use rationale until the image's provenance can be established. At the moment it is intended for use in the articles Ralph Thomas Scurfield and Nu-West.
Fair Use Rationale
- 1. There is no free-equivalent. I have searched for a free image of this man with clear copyright information and have so far been unable to find one. He died in 1985, so obviously one cannot be created.
- 2 The use of this image on Wikipedia does not disrupt anybody's commercial usage of the image.
- 3 It is of low resolution.
- 4 It has been published outside Wikipedia.
- 5 It is used to illustrate the man in question.
- 6 It conforms to all other guidelines.
Summary
[edit]1.No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject - no free images have been allocated for this person.
2.The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
3.The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy.
4.The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above.
5.The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
6.The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
7.The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
8.No free images have been allocated for this person
9.The image is needed to identify the person for educational purposes in an encyclopedia entry and significantly improves the quality of the article.
10.The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.
11.A replaceable free image for this person is impossible as he is deceased
Licensing
[edit]This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy). | |
