Date of publication 18 June 1988
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Murder of Marie Wilks
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of their biographical article
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
1) There are no free images of the woman available online or anywhere else

2) The woman died 34 years ago, and so a free image will not be published now 3) There are only a few images available of Wilks anywhere, and none of them are free

Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) 1) The image has been cropped from the original to only show the woman's face

2) It has been reduced in size to only 178 x 171 3) It will only be used to identify the subject of the article on the article about her, and no where else

Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
1) This image was intentionally widely distributed on missing person posters, in the press and in the media to appeal for information on her disappearance and murder. West Mercia Police who did this would not have intended to exploit commercial opportunities by doing this and will not intend to now

2) The image has already been widely published in the media, meaning very limited commercial opportunities for using the image now. Examples are here: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/murdered-rang-help-motorway-mystery-15186063, here: https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/16033089.marie-wilks-murder-further-forensic-work-not-reveal-additional-evidence-say-police/, here: https://twitter.com/walesonline/status/1043783448765353985, here: https://www.pressreader.com/uk/western-mail/20180518/281788514712952, here: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/murdered-rang-help-motorway-mystery-15186063 3) The image has been reduced in size to only 178 x 171 and is of low resolution quality, the owner could still exploit commercial opportunities from using the much larger, better quality image 4) The image has been cropped from the original, meaning the owner still will have commercial opportunities by using the full original, non-cropped image

Other information The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 18 June 1988
