Purpose | Purpose purpose | What function this file will serve in the article. This explanation must make it clear how and why the file will significantly increase the reader's understanding of the topic, in such a way that its absence would be detrimental to the article (cf. WP:NFCC#8). Do not copy generic rationale verbiage from some templated rationales elsewhere. State in clear, plain words what this particular file will be doing in this particular article. Be specific and concrete. - Example
- This non-free art will be the primary form of identification of the subject of the article in the infobox used in the article.

Replaceability - Why not free image? | Replaceability replaceability | Why there couldn't be a freely licensed replacement that would adequately serve the same purpose (cf. WP:NFCC#1). Please bear in mind that this is not merely about replacements that actually exist and are readily available, but also about the mere possibility that such a replacement could realistically be created. - Example
- Because this work is non-free, any free substitute would either be a copyright violation or misinterpret the work.

Replaceability - Why not just text? | Replaceability_text replaceability_text replaceability text | If necessary, explain why it wouldn't be possible to adequately treat the encyclopedic content with freely licensed text alone. Note that though this template field has been implemented as optional, Wikipedia policy requires that its consideration is satisfied (see WP:NFCC#1).

Minimal use | Minimality minimality | Add any necessary explanation how there won't be more non-free content used than necessary.

Portion | Portion | The portion of the non-free file used - Example
- The whole work is used to prevent misinterpreting the work
| Unknown | optional |
---|
Low resolution | Low resolution Low_resolution Resolution | Indicate that this file has low resolution. - Example
- This image's size and resolution is sufficient enough to provide identification of the work. But the low resolution would make it unsuitable for stolen versions and reproduction/replication elsewhere.
