Yet another boilerplate "List of people on the postage stamps of X" marathon. The lists are entirely unsourced and unmaintained. There is no evidence that this is a notable topic per WP:SALAT, and the consensus to delete such lists is overwhelming. All of these were deprodded with a WP:SOFIXIT rationale, but again -- just because you can corroborate all of these through a stamp catalog doesn't mean it's a noteworthy list on its own. Obligatory ping of @Fram: and @Johnpacklambert: Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 14:54, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. This is something for another kind of project, outside of Wikipedia. BD2412 T 21:49, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all Wikipedia is not meant to be a repeat of every list that can be found in any catalog anywhere. We need multiple reliable sources that give the list and also give it broader context. The only way to make this list of some value would be to organize by year issued instead of alphabetically.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:06, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; all available evidence tell us that these people were depicted on stamps because they are important to the history and society of their country. Bw --Orland (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all because "People on the postage stamps of [insert country X]" does not appear to meet WP:NLIST (at least, none of the lists presents any evidence whatsoever, none has been presented here, and even looking for "people on postage stamps" only seems to throw up a few pages about how at some point in the recent past the US Postal Service relaxed rules against depicting living people on them - nothing like these lists here); and additionally because this would be a WP:BADIDEA as Wikipedia is not a philatelical catalogue and there is no indication how this kind of page is of any broader encyclopedic significance. An encyclopedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, even if it is true, and despite it possibly being interesting to a limited number of dedicated enthusiasts.
