| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | CGP Grey |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | Provides a visual representation of the subject and allows the reader to easily identify who this article is about, in the same way that a photo identifies the subject of most other biographical articles. CGP Grey is a very private person, and is better known to the public by his stick figure representation than by his actual physical appearance. Additionally, the art style shown here is used throughout most of his videos, so this image also serves as an illustrative example of his art style. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
CGP Grey is known almost exclusively known by his stick figure representation, which is copyrighted by him, so a freely licensed version couldn't exist. A freely-licensed photograph of Grey could be used, but it would not be illustrative in the same way that this image is (because he very rarely shows his face publicly), and it would also violate Grey's request for privacy on the talk page. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Will be used at a small size, and only once (at the top of the subject's article) |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
