Fair use rationale for Florence Foster Jenkins

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion in the article Florence Foster Jenkins" is claimed as fair use because:

It complies with guidelines as described at Wikipedia:Music samples.
file was created in Ogg Vorbis format, with an average bit rate of 39kbit/s
it is a sample of 23 seconds which is 10.5% of the original recording of 3 minutes and 37 seconds (this is slightly more than 10% but I believe this increase does not violate the spirit of the media sample guidelines as none of the recording could be trimmed without loss of educational value)
its length and quality would not readily allow it to be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording
it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
it illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the singer who is featured in the sample
it is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.

I believe the use of this sample is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
