List of available U.S. stamp denominations

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article has not cited any sources for over a year. I finally found a reliable source, which makes it clear that the denominations listed on this page are wildly out of date. This article will probably never be anything substantially more than the table on that page, and will likely suffer from neglect and become outdated and hence useless. Wikipedia is not a directory and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. If this article is kept, at a minimum it must be rewritten to reflect currently available denominations, and it should be tidied up with some connecting prose so that it's at least a little better than the table from the USPS site. It seems to me, however, that it could easily be deleted and replaced with a link to the relevant USPS page, which will always be more up-to-date than Wikipedia can be. —Bkell (talk) 00:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment I have to believe a properly sourced (and accurate!) version of this could be merged somewhere; it seems that we would have a logical article where this information would fit. If that were the case, a redirect from this title would be in order. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 18:27, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Once upon a time I think there was a sentence or two somewhere (maybe WP:NOT) which specifically gave bus schedules or train timetables as information which was not appropriate for Wikipedia, but I can't find it now. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, I would appreciate a link, to satisfy my frustration and because I think this is quite similar. —Bkell (talk) 21:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. per Nom, lack of notability, and especially WP:INDISCRIMINATE. A reference or external link to the source cited by the nom from say, Postage_stamps_and_postal_history_of_the_United_States would sufficiently incorporate this info into WP—a whole article is not needed.

 * Delete Why would there even be a list of amounts you can by stamps in? That is what usps.com is for. Wikipeida is not a Directory If not delete, then Merge to History of United States Postal Service rates at the bottom section with the current stamp amount.

 * Delete besides what others have said, we can not have a list like this for every nation that issues stamps. Northwestgnome (talk) 21:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
