for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of his/her biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)
photographs of the subject are common and easily found but despite fair effort I have been unable to identify one that can be confirmed to be in the public domain or released under the relevant free use codes
The head shot uploaded is extracted from a large 'full-body'group photograph. All commercial value resides in selling reproduction rights to, or prints of, that large group photo. There's no commercial value to extracts of the individual members such as the photo I have uploaded. I have even reduced the photo to the extent that only the head of the subject is pictured (rather than his full-body) to definitely remove all possible question of any harm being done to the copyright holder.
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.
This tag should only be used for biographical images, typically those used to identify the subject.
To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.
