A detailed, well referenced article, but unfortunately the postage stamps are simply not notable, even if the subject matter is. Some of the content could be moved to the articles dealing with the subject.Philafrenzy (talk) 16:55, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Speedy Keep. There seems to be no real reason not to have this article. What is not notable to "you" is usually notable to someone else when you look past the end of your own nose, so "simply not notable" is a weak, opinionated argument. Canada Post released this series of stamps precisely to bring more attention and commemoration to a notable subject in history. The idea of doing away with the article militates against what Canada Post was trying to achieve, and smacks of "cultural erasure". Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 14:07, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The subject matter is notable, and should be in the relevant articles, the stamps aren't. (see above). And try toning it down a bit please.Philafrenzy (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- See above? You mean it's "simply not notable" simply because you feel it's "simply not notable"? Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 18:48, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Notability is a shorthand for "topics that should be included in Wikipedia". Primarily, this is established with significant coverage in independent reliable sources. I can find press releases, but not any significant independent coverage. Canada's Stamp Detials is fine for verifying infromation, but as a publication of Canada Post, is not useful for establishing notability. -- Whpq (talk) 21:40, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: No claim to notability made here, just the issuing information don't make this useful or encyclopaedic. Also we are not a stamp catalogue with all those details. The foundation has the wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue where such details would be far more appropriate. Individual stamp article must have some reliably sourced notability and I don't see any. ww2censor (talk) 12:25, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
