Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) UFC 146
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This image will be used in the main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
As an event poster, the image is not replaceable by free content, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) Because the image is an event poster, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original poster. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the event poster creator's ability to provide event poster design services and in turn marketing events to the public.
Other information Use of the event poster in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
