==Description==
This template is intended to assist in the creation of non-free use rationales for images of people that are used in a biographical context.

== Usage ==
To use the template, copy the empty template to an image where the content is considered [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free]], and fill in applicable fields (described below).

<!-- Leave these usage templates empty! There is an example in the next section -->
The minimum required for a deceased person is: 
<pre>
{{Non-free use rationale biog
| name              = 
| birth             = 
| death             = 
| use               = <!-- Choose: Infobox / Header / Section -->
| source            = 
| article           = 
| purpose           = 
}}
</pre>

The minimum required for a living person is: 
<pre>
{{Non-free use rationale biog
| name              = 
| birth             = 
| use               = <!-- Choose: Infobox / Header / Section -->
| source            = 
| article           = 
| purpose           = 
| replaceability    = 
}}
</pre>

The full version is:
<pre>
{{Non-free use rationale biog
| name              = 
| birth             = 
| death             = 
| description       = 
| source            = 
| article           = 
| portion           = 
| low-resolution    = 
| use               = <!-- Choose: Infobox / Header / Section -->
| purpose           = 
| replaceability    = 
| other information = 
}}
</pre>
;<code>name</code>: the full name of the person in the biography concerned
;<code>birth</code>: (optional) date of birth (in any format), if known
;<code>death</code>: (optional) date of death (in any format), if known
;<code>description</code>: (optional) other descriptive information, including the copyright holder if known
;<code>source</code>: Where you acquired the copyrighted material, or how you recreated it
;<code>article</code>: The exact name of the Wikipedia article in which the media is to be used (unlinked, i.e. do not include brackets [[]], as the template will link automatically).
;<code id="note-portion">portion</code>: (optional) How much copyrighted material is used? The amount used must not make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder. If this parameter is left blank, the template will display "A single small image or extract sufficient for the intended purpose without being excessive."
;<code id="note-resolution">low-resolution</code>: (optional) Is the material in a lower resolution that would be unlikely to impact the copyright owner's ability to resell or otherwise profit from the work? For [[raster images]], this would be the [[image resolution|resolution]] (in pixels) of the picture used. If this parameter is left blank, the template will display "The image is of a size consistent with fair-use."
;<code id="note-use">use</code>: (optional) enter one of Infobox, Header or Section
;<code id="note-purpose">purpose</code>: (optional, but required if <code>Use</code> is not one of the standard options) Alternative or additional explanation of how the image contributes significantly to the article in which it is used 
;<code id="note-replace">replaceability</code>: Explain why sourced text or equivalent [[free content]] media (perhaps to be obtained or created) could not adequately convey the article subject. If anything was entered for the parameter "death", the template will display "Subject of image is deceased, so creation of recent free image is impossible."
;<code>other information</code>: (optional) If applicable, provide any other information that justifies the current use of this non-free media. If this parameter is left blank, the template will display "Use of the image is consistent with fair-use provisions."

==Example==
<pre>
{{Non-free use rationale biog
| name              = Sir Isaac Shoenberg
| birth             = 1 March 1880
| death             = 25 January 1963
| source            = http://www.doramusic.com/Shoenberg.jpg
| article           = Isaac Shoenberg
| use               = Header
| other information = 
}}
</pre>
will display as:
{{Non-free use rationale biog
| name = Sir Isaac Shoenberg |birth=1 March 1880 |death=25 January 1963
| source            = http://www.doramusic.com/Shoenberg.jpg
| article           = Isaac Shoenberg
| use               = Header
| other information = 
}}
