List of people on the postage stamps of Hawaii

Still completely unsourced and un-maintained. Still no proof that this is a notable topic per WP:SALAT. Prod contested with a WP:SOFIXIT rationale, but again, there's no proof that this can be fixed. Ping and  Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:11, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Postage stamps and postal history of Hawaii. I believe that this one is different from all the others, given that there is a set historical period during which Hawaii issued postage stamps as an independent country, and the number of people appearing on these is relatively small, and is known. I expect that sources can be found on this, and the number of entries can not grow in the future unless Hawaii ceases to be part of the United States. However, given the small number, a separate list article is hardly needed. BD2412  T 21:53, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Postage stamps and postal history of Hawaii, although I am not sure that is the best name for an article on the actual entity and time covered. We should only merge content that can be backed with reliable sources, not just merge everything. The list itself is in general trivial unless we can back every entry and find multiple reliable sources that discuss the subject of people on postage stamps as a dinstinct group. The best reliable source discussing the matter I have seen to date mixed people and places into one non-list discussion on the matter, so it is really an uphill battle to show people as a group and even a focus on reliable sources on stamps.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:47, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It seems to me as if Johnpacklambert think that stamps are uninteresting and "trivia". Fair enough; but please accept that other people might find this more interesting. We can't delete all those things uninteresting to ourselves. Bw --Orland (talk) 15:04, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment If we do want to keep these lists in any form in any location, we should reorder them to list by year, not alphabetically. If there is any encyclopedic value to such a listing, it is to show the changes over time in decisions on who to portray in stamps.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:21, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
