The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. While I closed other debates on lists of people on postage stamp articles as "delete" (see e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people on the postage stamps of China and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people on the postage stamps of Sweden), this list has a few sources and consensus is generally on the side of keeping the article.

• Delete the incidental mention of one stamp in a book is not enough to show that a list on a topic is notable. The sources above may or may not be worth adding to Postage stamps and postage history of Taiwan or whatever exactly we name the article, but they are not enough to justify a comprehensive list that includes everything. We cannot build lists alone on reliable source entries that show indicidual cases belong. To justify a list we need reliable sources that treat the subject as a whole, not just reliable sources for indivdual entries.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep; all available evidence tell us that these people were depicted on stamps because they are important to the history and society of their country. No one gets notability from beeing on a stamp; but stamps indicate the role of a person in their society. Bw --Orland (talk) 21:51, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. it a reasonable encyclopedic thing do look for. It and similar lists are not random lists, but list of the 50 to 300 (usually) the country wants to commenorates especialy and make visible at least nationally and often internationally. Allp philately sources keep track of them., so there's no problem about sourcing. This is not a list of "everything" The total total number takign all the lists together might be about 20 000-100,000 over the past century. . I don't considerthat indicriminate.

  Not a bad guess! This is stampdata.com's list of all persons on stamps ever; the database not being complete, I expect the final number will come in around 25k or so. Stan (talk) 17:00, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  20 000-100,000 over the past century Yeah, that would be prime WP:INDISCRIMINATE material. Even our lists of aviation accidents (of which there probably haven't nearly been as many as that) have strict inclusion criteria. Being listed on an all-inclusive philately database is not a sign of notability for Wikipedia, in the same way being listed in an all-inclusive sports database isn't.

• Delete No evidence whatsoever exists that this does meet 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.

  The sources presented by Cunard seem to be at best rather generic coverage of stamps and of the postal history of Taiwan. Some cover specific instances of someone getting depicted on a stamp, but none covers the wider topic of "people on the postage stamps of Taiwan".

  Seems like a bad idea. The proper place to discuss articles suitability (or lack thereof) always has been AfD. On top of that, there are always individual cases which require more discussion. Finding an appropriate general discussion without falling into pitfalls of WP:NOTBURO or WP:CREEP is difficult. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 04:37, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - None of the presented sources above actually discuss the overall topic of "People on the postage stamps of the Republic of China". At best, they each discuss a small handful of very specific individuals appearances on stamps. But verification that some of these listed people did, in fact, appear on stamps in Taiwan does not actually confer notability to the entire topic, as they still do not discuss the topic as a group or set, which is the requirement for the notability of a standalone list, per WP:LISTN.

• Comment: Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists says (my bolding):

  Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list.

  Here are two additional sources that show that "people on the postage stamps of the Republic of China" has been discussed "as a group or set by independent reliable sources".

     The abstract notes (my bolding): "Postage stamps are exclusively made by a country that is recognized by other members of the international community. Governments have always utilized these tiny images as national and international propaganda. By 1949, the Chinese Communist Party effectively controlled the Chinese Mainland and established the People's Republic of China (PRC), while the Nationalist Party fled to Taiwan to resume its Republic of China (ROC). The PRC and the ROC simultaneously asserted their sole legitimate succession to the Chinese regime, and both countries' postal authorities utilized postage stamps to build their own Chinese national identity and engage in a long-term propaganda war. ... By comparing five sets of stamp themes, including people, anniversaries, international relations, sport and the overseas Chinese, Chapter Five analyzes political, historical and ethnic identity in postage stamp designs of the 'two Chinas'." The comparison of people is on pages 229–250 of the thesis.

     The thesis notes on page 229: "Firstly let us begin with how the PRC and the ROC postal authorities decided who should stay on postage stamps. From 1949 to 1979, there are fifty-seven different persons in total that can be specifically identified on the postage stamps of the ROC on Taiwan. These people can be roughly classified into five topics, which are 'political figures', 'revolutionary martyrs', 'cultural figures', 'Chinese historical icons' and 'ethical and mythical figures'. Table. 5.1".

     Table 5.1 is labeled "Individuals Depicted on the Postage Stamps of China and Taiwan, 1949-79". Here is information from the Taiwan column of Table 5.1:

     1. Political figures: Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai Shek, Madame Chiang, Yu Youren, Wu Zhihui, Lin Sen, Chen Cheng; Abraham Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Dwight Eisenhower.
     2. Revolutionary martyrs: Lu Haodong, Qiu Jin, Huang Xing, Qiu Fengjia, Zhang Zizhong, Gao Zhihang, Sa Shijun, Xie Junyuan, Yan Haiwen, and Dai Anlan.
     3. Cultural figures: Xu Guangqi, Hua Tuo, Cai Yuanpei, Qu Yuan, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Zhu Xi, Zhang Tiaoyou, Sir Rowland Hill, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr.
     4. Ethical and mythical figures: Confucius, Mencius, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Xuan Zang, Budai Heshang, Lao Zi, Shide, Pomo Xianren, 24 Paragons of Filial Piety, Folk Tale Icons, Beijing Opera figures
     5. Chinese historical icons: Zheng Chenggong, Tang Taizong, Song Taizu, Yuan Taizu, Ming Taizu, Di Yao, Di Shun, Xiayu Wang, Shangtan Wang, Zhouwen Wang, Zhouwu Wang, Zhou Gong, Lin Zexu
     The paragons of filial piety are discussed in this 12 September 1971 article^{Internet Archive} in The New York Times.

     The article notes: "The first issue of definitives following the KMT's retreat to Taiwan are made in June 1950 and consist of a portrait Cheng Cheng-kung. ... Cheng became an important element in Chiang Kai-shek's attempts to build his legitimacy and Chiang clearly used Cheng as a model. The next set of definitives, issued on Chiang's birthday in 1953, provides a portrait of Chiang in a similar style to those of Cheng. This is a conservative set of definitives, consisting of a simple portrait of the head of state."

     The article later notes: "This trend in definitives culminates in 1972 with the 'Chinese Culture Heroes' series featuring luminaries from the Chinese past such as Confucius ($8) and King Wen ($5.50)." The full list is here^{Internet Archive} on Chunghwa Post's website.

     The article later notes: "Chiang also quickly captured the symbols of Japanese power and authority from the colonial period, and this was clearly seen in the 1953 commemorative marking the third anniversary of Chiang's resumption of office. In these stamps the Presidential Mansion is cIearly displayed along with Chiang's portrait ... Chiang appears on 29 different issues of stamps (and his wife and her paintings occur on four issues). He makes only one appearance after the death of his son and successor Chiang Ching-kuo in 1987, and that is 'indirect'--the 1999 issue commemorating the new currency which still carries Chiang's portrait, albeit alongside more overtly Taiwanese images. Images of politicians almost completely disappear from postage stamps after the death of Chiang Kai-shek, part of a process of moving away from personality cults instigated by Chiang's successor, Chiang Ching-kuo. The exceptions are an issue in January 1989 to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of Chiang Ching-kuo (his only appearance on a stamp), and the presidential elections commemoratives issued every four years, which portray the newly elected president and vice president."
