The current sources all appear to be databases and catalogs. The others are unreliable self-published websites or 404. Furthermore, they do not support every entry on the list. Even if a source existed to verify every entry on this list, there is zero evidence that the subject of them being a list-worthy topic is notable. Like all of these other similarly minded lists, this is a clear-cut example of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Consensus is increasingly strong by now that such lists fail WP:SALAT Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:52, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Page XIV of the following book appears to list people on postage tamps in Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Ecuador and others. I can't see through google's interface the extent to which this provides significant coverage, or what text precedes or follows the list. : Child, J. (2008). Miniature messages: the semiotics and politics of Latin American postage stamps. United Kingdom: Duke University Press.

As per what I've said in other discussions, there's lots of circumstantial indications of offline sources generally pointing towards notability of people on postage stamps per country. CT55555 (talk) 20:27, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at my copy, and xiv is just an index to the color plates - several plates only include notable persons on stamps. I also saw a mention of a related book [1] of which I was not previously aware. Stan (talk) 12:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom; basically an indiscriminate list, since the selections themselves are whatever the government in question decides to use on a given day. BD2412 T 00:55, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is an indiscrminate list lacking the needed sources to back it up in full. Beyond this, the list is about half entries that lack articles, which Wikipedia should not be creating unless we have a subject that actually is regularly covered as a group and every entry and point is well backed by sources, which is not met here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:35, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete An indiscriminate list. Clearly WP:NOTDIR applies here. LibStar (talk) 04:20, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
