Date of publication 12 October 2015
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Mullah Omar
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To more clearly illustrate Omar's appearance apart from the infobox photo, which is of poor quality but is needed to illustrate his appearance around the time of his rule of Afghanistan, which was very different as he had lost his right eye by then. Most profiles of Omar have had to use both photos to give readers a good understanding of what he looked like.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Omar was reclusive, and this is one of only two verified portrait photographs of Omar in existence, neither of which is freely available.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) Use will be limited to "Early life" section of the subject's article.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The Taliban provided this photo to the press for free for promotional purposes.
Other information The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 23 April 2013

The Taliban published a photograph of a framed version of this picture on its official website in August 2015 (see here). This AFP article republished by The Economic Times was used as a source for information about the photograph's origin.
