[edit] Fair use rationale for use in the article Gilles Villeneuve

The whole of the stamp in question is used, and has to be in order to illustrate the subject.
The stamp illustrates the main subject of the article.
The stamp illustrates the point that the driver in question has become iconic enough to become a subject for such commemorative materials, the stamp dates from 1997, 15 years after the driver died. See Legacy section of the article for commentary on this subject.
A free use version of the image is impossible to produce, and would not in any case illustrate the point. 4u1e (talk) 18:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
