| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Howard Allen |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | No purpose specified. Please edit this image description and provide a purpose. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
This image is not replaceable, research ended without the existence of a free alternative. Replacement is not viable in the case of an inmate (mugshot) photo, especially when there is a life sentence with no chance of parole. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
As a historical topic with no free image, providing this visual content will enhance some readers learning experience, while using free text to describe the murderer’s physical characteristics can be difficult for an editor and may reduce the academic value of the article. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | This is a low-resolution image of no commercial value based on a states incarceration inmate photo which may or may not be copyrighted, but cannot be commercially damaged by editorial reproduction and comment. Currently there are no images in the entire article, that is marked as a stub-class, with 2,592bytes, created: January 2007. This single non-free image posting should be sufficient, a need for additional non-free posting is unlikely as there are no accomplices in the topic’s crimes. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
If this image is subject to copyright, it belongs to the Indiana Department of Correction, United States, which is a government public service and not a commercial entity nor artist, and by using this low-resolution image it does not impact the department of any monetary value. |

 | This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
