Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	The Seattle Monolith.
Author or copyright owner	Associated Press
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: BBC - Seattle's mystery monolith disappears Immediate source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1100524.stm
Date of publication	January 4, 2001
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Seattle Monolith
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Illustration of the sculpture that is the subject of the article for the infobox as the primary means of visual identification
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The sculpture no longer exists, and no known picture is available under a free license
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	Low resolution, only one image used
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Image is freely accessible from the BBC. The sculpture is slightly less than 20 years old, and images of it are unlikely to be commercially relevant nowadays.
Other information	The sculpture itself does not cross the threshold of originality, so a freely-licensed image could theoretically have been produced when it was installed, but one is not possible to create now
