This is essentially a set of Discworld collectibles produced by a single small company. I don't deny that the article is neutrally phrased, and just manages to escape being an advert, but the fact remains that these are very unnotable products, even within Discworld fandom. Delete for non-notability and sailing too close to being promotional. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:32, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In reply and rebuttal of the above Discworld stamps are in fact now a major division of stamps within the Cinderella stamp domain. There have been over 2 million produced and they are now housed within the British library Philatelic collection. They have become one of the few items of fan and commercial activity that has entered mainstream stamp collecting throughout the world. Furthermore their design and production is recognized as being amongst the best within the Cinderella cannon. Their commercial value is now considerable and these stamps achieve more in auction than many other Cinderella Stamps. What was once a parochial, fan based collectible is now a legitimate part of stamp collecting. Bernard Pearson Pipesmoke (talk) 05:57, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Discworld stamps are collected worldwide and a search on ebay will see the interest in these individual works of art. They are mentioned in philatelic publications and are taken seriously by Cinderella philatelists, unsigned contribution by User:Demdyke.
I would like to draw people's attention to this forum thread asking people to come and argue against the deletion of this article. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:02, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have just added references to the launch of the stamps and the article in gibbons stamp special. User:Annebn
