Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Photograph of the town of Kimberly, Nevada, taken in the 1940s.
Author or copyright owner	Unknown
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Unknown Immediate source: http://jeepers.smugmug.com/History/Lincoln-Highway-California-and/i-TRvPrtN/0/S/Kimberly%2C%20Nevada%2C%201940s-S.jpg
Date of publication	1940s
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Kimberly, Nevada
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This file serves to visually illustrate the historic townsite of Kimberly, Nevada, a former mining town which no longer exists. The image depicts the town's two-story building structures, a gallows (which visually cements Kimberly's importance as a mining boomtown), and the surrounding arid landscape.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Kimberly was demolished in 1959; no free illustration of the town could be created today, because the townsite has been totally destroyed. The land on which Kimberly sits is now an open-pit mine. This image depicts Kimberly at a point when it was declining but still a viable community; I know of no image of the town which has been released by its creator into the public domain, and since GFDL and similar licenses are recent creations, it is unlikely that any photographer of Kimberly has released them under a copyleft license.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is being uploaded at a small size (400px by 262px) and low resolution, enough to illustrate the townsite but not so large that it could be credibly appropriated for commercial sale. The rationale generated her applies only to the photograph's use on a single page, the Wikipedia article for Kimberly, Nevada; its use is not planned on any other Wikipedia page, and if it is used elsewhere, separate fair use rationales will need to be filed for these additional uses.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The file was downloaded from a site that offers much larger versions of the same photograph for free download; the site offers purchase of prints of the file (in its higher-resolution version), but the existence of the file here does not impact the business of printing the files in any way. The low-resolution copy claimed here under fair use is not of a quality that would allow it to be printed by anyone else in a condition that would be acceptable for sale. It is not known whether the site from which the photo was taken is also the copyright holder of the photograph. The same rationale holds for any other copyright claimant; this small, low-resolution copy is unsuitable for commercial re-use.

Licensing edit

This image is a two-dimensional representation of a building or architectural work which has been destroyed, demolished, or otherwise permanently altered in a way that makes it impossible to take a new photograph serving the same encyclopedic purpose. This image is protected by copyright by the publisher of the destroyed architecture. It is believed that the use of low-resolution versions of such images

solely to illustrate the historic appearance of the building in question,
where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair 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.
Fair use

To the uploader:

Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.
This tag should only be used for images of architectural works. Do not use it for images by others.

To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Note: If any public domain or freely licensed photograph of the building is discovered or obtained, this image should be deleted and replaced. If the building is out of copyright in its home country or if said photograph was taken in a country which has freedom of panorama for buildings and architectural works which do not restrict commercial use (such as the United States; see here for a full list of which countries are OK), consider uploading to Wikimedia Commons instead, which allows other Wikimedia projects to use the image. If the building is copyrighted in its home country and there is no freedom of panorama provision in that country, then upload it locally under a free license, appending the tag {{FoP-USonly}}.
