List of people on the postage stamps of Paraguay

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

Fails WP:LISTN. Same issues as the many dozens of similar lists already deleted over the last months, but main issue is the lack of sources specifically about the list topic as a group (there are sources about specific stamp issues, and about Paraguayan stamps in general, but not sources discussing the topic of people on stamps of Paraguay in general). As usual, this list is largely abandoned and is just being edited as parts of general maintenance; the "year" links which follow each name go to Wikimedia Commons (in itself a poor choice which violated the WP:MOS): but the target pages are deleted at Commons... (some even never existed, like this one). The Vanity Fair source has nothing at all about a Paraguayan stamp, hardly surprising. Fram (talk) 07:28, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Could you please give links to or examples of the deletion discussions for the "many dozens of similar lists". please?. Were they deleted by WP:AFD or by WP:PROD? Thanks, Hallucegenia (talk) 14:57, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * This gives an idea (not all results are for AfDs, but the first 70 (? guesstimate) are all about these). There have also been Prods. Fram (talk) 15:09, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. That is very helpful. It's a pity that these have all been addressed in isolation, rather than having a single discussion about them all. Hallucegenia (talk) 19:58, 20 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete, same reasons as all the others. Even if sources could exist to prove that these people were on stamps, no sources in 70+ AFDs have proven the existence of sources about the subject of them being on stamps. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:45, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge. This list should be merged with all the others into List of people on postage stamps, which is currently a redirect to a list of lists. That single list would surely qualify as notable, containing as it does would stamps from the US and the UK. This page should then be converted into a redirect to the appropriate Paraguayan section of that single list. The single list would clearly need a lot of work to make sure it was properly referenced, but that is a different issue from this AfD discussion. Hallucegenia (talk) 20:05, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete clearly fails WP:LISTN. LibStar (talk) 01:27, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete There is no sourcing here that talks about this specific group as a group. This is hardly surprising because this is in the main "non-Paraguayan competitors in the Olympics that Paraguay decided to put on its stamps, with a few other non-Paraguayans and a very few Paraguayans". The fact that one of the two sources says nothing of Paraguay, let alone anything of its stamps, just is indicative of how not a significant fact someone being put on a stamp is, and of how little justification there is to have articles like this.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:41, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
