Fails WP:LISTN. Palau (pop. 18,000) has created in 40 years more than 4000 stamps (about the same as Great Britain did in 180 years), many of them with people. The current completely unsourced list only includes 3, completely at random (e.g. the 1983 set that featured Captain Wilson also showed three other named people, including Lee Boo who is here given for 1990). Nothing was added to the list since its creation in 2004, not even after someone else prod'ded it in 2009. Over the last 90 days, it was seen 13 times. Basically, no one cares to correct and improve it, and no one cares to read it. Fram (talk) 13:58, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Maybe a list organizing those 4000 could be appropriate somehow, but I don't see why people should have its own article. Postage stamps and postal history of Palau is the main article but no one seems to care, it's not an inherently notable topic. Reywas92^Talk 14:55, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unsourced list. This is the extreme of philatelycruft.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:18, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete seems uncontroversial. Unsourced. How is three people even a "list"? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:35, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
