| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Ai-Khanoum |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | To illustrate the ruins of Ai-Khanoum before their looting during the Afghanistan conflicts. The photograph not only testifies to the size and scale of the ruins, but to their relative good condition after two thousand years. This image is therefore critical for the readers' understanding of the archaeological excavation. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The site was comprehensively looted and ransacked during the Afghan Civil Wars; accounts testify that it now looks completely different, so this photo is impossible to replicate today. All photos taken in the 1970s were by the same organisation, so it is impossible to find a copyright-free image. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Only used in one article (Ai-Khanoum), with low resolution. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The uploaded image is low resolution, so there is no commercial disadvantage. |
