| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Old Forest |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | Demonstrates exactly how Tolkien saw Old Man Willow while he was writing the book, and allows the article to discuss how the visual representation in his drawing fits with his textual description in the chapter The Old Forest (the subject of the article). |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
There is no comparable image as this is the only one Tolkien drew of the character. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | This is the only non-free image in the article, and the only image of the character anywhere on Wikipedia. It is used at very poor resolution. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
It seems quite unlikely, as the image is both published in the art book and widely available on the Web, both at much better resolution than here, and have been for some 25 years now. |
