* To support Wikipedia's mission to produce perpetually [[free content]] for unlimited distribution, modification and application by all users in all media
* To minimize legal exposure by limiting the amount of non-free content, using more narrowly defined criteria than apply under the [[fair use]] provisions in [[United States copyright law]]
* To facilitate the judicious use of non-free content to support the development of a high-quality encyclopedia

There is no automatic entitlement to use non-free content in an article or elsewhere on Wikipedia. Articles and other Wikipedia pages may, in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Non-
# {{/span|1}}'''No free equivalent.''' Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose.
# {{/span|2}}'''Respect for commercial opportunities.''' Non-free content is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted material.
# {{/span|3}}'''Minimal usage:'''<ol type="a" style="list-style-type:lower-alpha"><li>{{/span|3a}}'''Minimal number of items.''' Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information.</li><li>{{/span|3b}}'''Minimal extent of use'''. An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low-resolution, rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate is used (especially where the original could be used for deliberate copyright infringement). This rule also applies to the copy in the File: namespace.</li></ol>
# {{/span|4}}'''Previous publication.''' Non-free content must be a work which has been published or publicly displayed outside Wikipedia by (or with permission from) the copyright holder, or a [[Derivative work|derivative of such a work]] created by a Wikipedia editor.
# {{/span|5}}'''Content.''' Non-free content meets general Wikipedia content standards and is encyclopedic.
# {{/span|6}}'''Media-specific policy.''' Non-free content meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. For example, images must meet [[Wikipedia:Image use policy]].
# {{/span|7}}'''One-article minimum.''' Non-free content is [[:Category:Orphaned non-free use Wikipedia files|used in at least one article]].
# {{/span|8}}'''Contextual significance.''' Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
# {{/span|9}}'''Restrictions on location.''' Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation pages]]), and only in the [[Wikipedia:Main namespace|article namespace]], subject to [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria exemptions|exemptions]]. (To prevent an image category from displaying thumbnails, add <code><nowiki>__NOGALLERY__</nowiki></code> to it; images are [[WP:COLON|linked]], not inlined, from talk pages when they are a topic of discussion.)
# {{/span|10}}'''Image description page.''' The image or media description page contains the following:<ol type="a" style="list-style-type:lower-alpha"><li>{{/span|10a}}Identification of the source of the original copyrighted material, supplemented, where possible, with information about the artist, publisher and copyright holder, and year of copyright; this is to help determine the material's potential market value.

* A file with a valid non-free-use rationale for some (but not all) articles it is used in will not be deleted. Instead, the file should be removed from the articles for which it lacks a non-free-use rationale, or a suitable rationale added.

* A non-free file lacking a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale|non-free use rationale]] may be deleted after being tagged for seven days under [[WP:F6|speedy deletion criterion F6]].
* A file in use in an article that does not meet F5 or F6 may be deleted under [[WP:F7|speedy deletion criterion F7]] as follows:
** Note that it is the duty of users seeking to include or retain content to provide a valid rationale; those seeking to remove or delete it are not required to show that one cannot be created—see [[Philosophic burden of proof|burden of proof]].▼
**Media from a commercial source which are not the subject of sourced commentary may be deleted <strong>immediately</strong> under F7b.
**Non-free media which fail NFCC 1 (no free equivalent) may be deleted after being tagged as such for <strong>two days</strong> under F7c.
**Other media with invalid fair-use claims may be deleted after being tagged as such for <strong>seven days</strong> under F7d.

[[Wikipedia:Files for discussion|Files for discussion]] is the central venue to discuss whether a particular image meets the non-free content criteria, <strong>regardless of whether the file should be deleted or not</strong>. For example, a discussion might be held about whether it is appropriate to use an image in [[ARTICLE1]] even if it unquestionably meets the criteria for use in [[ARTICLE2]].
