| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | The Brook, Chatham |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | To show readers what the Central Hall looked like before its demolition in 1960, enriching the “Wesleyan Methodist chapel” section of The Brook, Chatham article. Without this image, the article would lack any visual reference for the building’s simple brick form and arched windows. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The chapel was demolished in 1960; no free-licensed photographs are known to survive. This is the only public image available, at this current date. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Only this single image will be used, at the size necessary to show exterior details, and only in the one article section where it is directly relevant. |

| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | The Brook, Chatham |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | To visually document the appearance and architecture of Chatham Wesleyan Central Hall, which no longer exists. The file aids reader understanding of the historical building referenced in the article. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
No free equivalent exists that could serve the same informational purpose. The chapel was demolished in 1960, making new photos impossible. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
A textual description alone cannot fully convey the architectural appearance, scale, or character of the Chatham Wesleyan Central Hall. As the building no longer exists, this historical photograph provides irreplaceable visual context that enhances the reader’s understanding of its design and significance within the article. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The image is used only once in the article specifically about the subject it depicts. It is the only known visual documentation of the building, which was demolished in 1960. No higher-resolution version is provided, and no additional non-free content is used in the article, ensuring the use is minimal and necessary for historical reference. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The image is a historical photograph of a building that was demolished in 1960 and is no longer commercially available or marketable. Its use on Wikipedia is solely for educational and informational purposes and does not compete with or diminish any existing or potential commercial value for the copyright holder. |
| Other information | The image is used only in the article about the subject it depicts, and its inclusion is minimal and necessary for historical reference. |
