Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Richard C. West researching Tolkien in the Marquette University Archives
Author or copyright owner	Marquette University
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: https://www.facebook.com/TolkienMarquette/posts/386367492807417 Immediate source: https://www.facebook.com/TolkienMarquette/posts/386367492807417
Date of publication	2020
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Richard C. West
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)	There is no other image available that shows West working on the Marquette University Tolkien Archive, directly relevant to the article and his work on Tolkien, and it is hard to imagine we could find anything similar.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is cropped and reduced from the original. It is the only image of West anywhere on Wikipedia, and the only image in the article.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Given West's relative fame, this seems extremely improbable. In any case the image is available at the stated source at better resolution.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 2020
