;How many non-free images are already present in the article?
:If there are already non-free images in the article, then the newly added image may tip the balance from "minimal usage" of non-free content (as required by NFCC #3, above), into ''over''usage, which is not allowed.<ref name=overuse /> If there ''many'' non-free images in the article already, then the "minimal usage" requirement is almost certainly not being met; instead of simply adding the new image, first discuss on the talk page of the article how the image is a better use of non-free content than the existing non-free images, and offer suggestions as to which non-free images should be removed from the article (or replaced with a free image, if one is available), to meet the requirements of the NFCC.
The above questions will help identify common problems satisfying the NFCC requirements. However, even if a rationale is present and properly formatted, there is no guarantee the image will meet all 10 of the criteria. There may be other problems with the image use; the next section will help put you in touch with an editor who can help identify them.
