| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image shows the appearance of the artefact and the trouble Tolkien went to, to make it and the story of Balin's death seem realistic, using calligraphy, staining, shaping, and burning, as if the page were part of the book of records of Balin's colony of dwarves, destroyed by marauding orcs in the subterranean realm. |

| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | The Silmarillion |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image shows the lengths Tolkien went to, writing and illustrating texts, to present his work as a collection of older works by many hands, as discussed in the article using this exact example, so as to create a mythology for England. |

| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Tolkien's legendarium |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image conveys the extraordinary measures that Tolkien used to create a convincing impression of "a presented collection" (the title of the section that discusses the image). He wanted his books and his legendarium to seem like a real mythology, built up over centuries and transmitted from one scribe to another via many artefacts; the Book of Mazarbul was the one literary artefact that he created in paper and paint as a "text within the fictional world", as discussed in the section. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
All Tolkien's paintings are in copyright, so no free image exists; and in any case, the article discusses this exact image in the named section. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The image is the only example of one of Tolkien's artefacts in the article, and the only non-free image in the article. It is used at poor resolution. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The image is already available at the named source at better resolution, and it has been published over many years now in a wide range of formats, so any impact would be negligible. |

| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Non-narrative elements in The Lord of the Rings |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The facsimile or forged page image places Tolkien in the Antiquarian tradition of found manuscripts and assorted non-narrative elements (like paintings and poems) that can lend realism to fantasy fiction. |
