Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Photograph of Willie Whistle, a Boston television children's show clown character of the late 20th century
Author or copyright owner	Probably a photographer working for WSBK in Boston
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: It is probably a publicity shot distributed by WBSK Immediate source: IMdb -- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7264238/
Date of publication	Between 1967 and 1987, probably closer to the former
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Willie Whistle
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The article's about a clown character. You kind of need to see him to get a handle on what kind of clown he was.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The character is long retired (and even if revived -- vanishingly unlikely -- wouldn't really be the same entity). So no new photos can be created. Whoever owns the copyright, if it is still in effect, and the persons can be found, has long forgotten about all this. Perhaps WSBK holds the copyright; they are not going to donate it to the public domain. I don't know of any other photographs of this obscure character that exist and are available.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	It's only the one picture, in the one file.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	If it is the photographer, his name is probably lost to history. If it is WSBK, they have long forgotten they own this property and its vanishingly unlikely that any commercial use is possible.
