| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | To present Peter Kassig and his killer in a moment probably very close to his death. Since the article is about the killing of Peter Kassig, any photograph of Peter Kassig would not have sufficed. With this image as help, the reader will be able to understand how the killing took place exactly and what state the victim was in at the time. The reader will also be able to see one frame of the propaganda video in which Kassig is killed off-camera. All this is relevant information, and its omission would detrimental to the consumer's understanding of the topic. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
No freely licensed alternative is to be found and none can be created, as both its subjects are dead. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Only one cropped frame. Any lower resolution would be insufficient for commentary. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The Islamic State is classified as a terrorist organisation, so U.S. law denies it any commercial opportunities. |
