Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Rick Sanchez as Pickle Rick in the Rick and Morty episode of the same name.
Author or copyright owner	Adult Swim
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	The A.V. Club, Direct link
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Pickle Rick
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This image is used to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the entity in question. It shows how Pickle Rick is depicted in the episode. His rat suit construction is described in a plot section; the character designers' comments on it are quoted in a production section; reviewers' response to the choice of a pickle and the animation design of the episode are quoted in a reception section. This image helps readers understand each of these different features.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Any image of Pickle Rick, or depiction of the episode, is necessarily non-free.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This image is used once only in one article. The size of the image is significantly less than it would be on a TV screen and is in a comparably low screen resolution.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The single frame does not replace the entertainment value of the original product. Adult Swim have heavily marketed the episode with promotional material and tie-in products, which can reasonably be taken to mean that they do not object to a depiction of the character Pickle Rick for illustrative or educational purposes.
