Standard "list of people on the postage stamps of X" list. This is woefully incomplete, and while sources are added, there is still no proof of meeting WP:SALAT. The sources given prove that these people were on the stamp, but not that it's a topic worthy of attention. And since when are "gubernatorial election" and "Puerto Rican flag" people? Obligatory ping of @ Fram: and @ Johnpacklambert: Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 15:00, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

- Delete This is the type of list that Wikia is meant for creating. It does not fit within Wikipedia which has notability requirements for all articles. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:28, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. No evidence whatsoever exists that this does meet WP:NLIST. Otherwise, this and all similar pages fail WP:NOTDIRECTORY (as generally "Simple listings without contextual information showing encyclopedic merit."); and furthermore, because having this is definitively a WP:BADIDEA (as evidenced by the fact people keep citing the existence of these lists as a reason to keep having them even when they fail inclusion criteria), 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 philatelical enthusiasts.

- Comment This list is mainly not what it claims to be. About half the list is people who never appeared on Puerto Rican stamps. That lf oddly includes the flag of Puerto Rico. Which is not a person at all. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 06:07, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
