This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Miser (Soul Calibur)
Description	Fictional character Miser © Namco.
Source	http://namco-ch.net/ps2_soulcalibur3/index.php More Precise: http://namco-ch.net/ps2_soulcalibur3/character/img/miser_b.jpg
Article	Miser (Soul Calibur)
Portion used	The entire image is used to identify the character.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification. Copies made from it will be unsuitable for uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original image.
Purpose of use	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the character it depicts. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the character, to show the primary visual image associated with the character, and to help the user quickly identify the character and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork.
Replaceable?	The character and image are © Namco, and not replaceable by free content.
