Date of publication 1 March 2013
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Murder of Elizabeth McCabe
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To provide a visual identification of the person who is the subject to much of the article and who was charged and trialled with the crime that is the subject of the article
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
No free published photos of the man exist on the internet or anywhere else. He is only known for this one event and that alone was over 40 years ago, so it's very unlikely a free image will ever be published of him now, especially as he is at least 76 and it is not known whether he is still alive or not.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) I made it much smaller and cropped it, and only used once to identify him briefly and never again
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
I cropped the original image to only show the man's face and made the image very small, 186x208. The original publisher could use the original, much bigger and uncropped version. Also the photo was published 10 years ago, the newspaper has already had a decade to make any commercial opportunities (if they aimed to, which seems somewhat unlikely as simply an interview photo)
Other information He is at least 76, and may be dead, had not been in the public eye for some years so no way of knowing what has happened to him
