| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | To graphically illustrate the concept of dark money, and the U.S. movement in opposition to it. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Because "dark money" is an abstract concept, it is difficult to illustrate. This image encapsulates an important aspect of the "dark money" phenomenon— opposition to non-disclosed political contributions. This ad is also the most widely recognized symbol of "dark money," having been publicly disseminated through an ad campaign on the Washington, D.C. subway system. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | It will be used only once, and used only here. Moreover, the image is a low-resolution graphic that is only one of at least six similar images that were part of the same ad campaign (See www.WhereIsMJW.com). |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
Dissemination only serves to further the non-profit cause and purpose of the designer, to further communicate the concept. |
