List of people on the postage stamps of Jordan

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?) 15:14, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. This is something for another kind of project, outside of Wikipedia. BD2412  T 21:47, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete a catalogue listing of something is not the substantial, reliable source coverage of a topic with analysis we need to justify an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:01, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * would you apply that same demand for an analytic source to any list on Wikipedia? Try List of prime ministers of Jordan and List of Pakistani actresses. IMHO, you are making up new, random criteria as you go. Bw --Orland (talk) 15:01, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, any list. Which I am sure we can find on Prime Ministers of Jordan. I am less than convinced having a list of actresses from Pakistan is justified. We need such sources on all lists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:03, 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) 14:22, 31 May 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.
