List of people on the postage stamps of Fiji

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:LISTN. Also: sourced to a general stamp catalogue (not a source which gives attention to the specific topic of people), abandoned since 2011 (ends in 2005), hardly ever read (1 pageview every 4 days or so). Fram (talk) 08:15, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a listing of trivia that does not meet the guidelines for lists in Wikipedia. This belongs on Wikia, not in Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:07, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, no proof that the topic of the list itself is a notable one. After all of these postage stamp list AFDs, no valid reasons to keep have been given. Even if the names can be verified, there is no encyclopedic content for them to be listed per WP:SALAT and WP:IINFO. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:07, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies the "navigation" criterion of WP:LISTPURP. Sourced to a specific catalogue for the Western Pacific (not a "general" stamp catalogue as the nomination claims), and, pardon me for having had too busy a life outside of Wikipedia to keep adding entries every few months.

 * Uh, how is that not a general stamp catalogue? It is not a catalogue of stamps with people on them, it is a general stamp catalogue about all stamps of multiple countries. Fram (talk) 09:13, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence whatsoever exists that this meets WP:NLIST, as already stated: not in this AfD, and not in the article. 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.

 * Keep there should be a general discussion about these lists --Lupe (talk) 22:04, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
