 * The article would be useful on wictionary, so I will not vote delete, perhaps my nomination was too premature. -- Dark fred Talk to me 05:24, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * This is not a dictionary article about a word. It is an encyclopaedia article about a concept in philately, i.e. a particular pairing of stamps.  We delete articles on concepts if they are perpetual stubs that cannot be expanded (because no information from sources beyond the stub content actually exists), although in some cases article merger is the better solution.  The obvious target for such a merger here would be the as-yet-unwritten article on postage stamp printing, which would explain for starters how cliche replacement can result in tête-bêche pairs.

 * As per the comments above and below feel free to WP:SNOWBALL this as keep. I withdraw my nomination. -- Dark fred Talk to me 14:55, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The information here goes beyond a dicdef I think and is more conceptual - it is a definition in a particular context. Perhaps merge into philately. SM247 My Talk  06:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
