Welcome to the Philately WikiProject. Hopefully you have a good time, start many new articles and can contribute lots to the existing ones as we need that. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 10:31, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ww2censor Thanks for the welcome! If you have the time, I had a couple quick questions about philately on Wikipedia. Clearly there are a lot of things that Wikipedia is not, and Wikipedia definitely isn't meant to be Colnect. But reviewing past PRODs, AfD discussions, etc., I can't get a good sense of what the community consensus is surrounding philatelic notability. Are there any proposed guidelines for notability in stamps beyond GNG? How can writers discern which articles can justifiably be created (and which will actually benefit Wikipedia long-term)? If you have any thoughts on this kind of thing I'd appreciate hearing them. Many thanks. SunTunnels (talk) 16:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Before an editor removed several redlinks from this list, there were stamps listed for which articles could be written. The Category:Post and philately stubs lists over 500 article that are very short and I'm certain with a bit of work many could be expanded. While not sub articles, many of the individual country articles, such as Postage stamps and postal history of Nepal are quite short and lacking detail which could easily be expanded if you have access to decent references. Some have been written in other languages which could be translated but machine translation is not a good solution and is disabled but you will have to search for references and other languages seem to not care so much for verification like the enwiki. Choose topics you have knowledge of or have reference material for. Just ask if you need some other advise and good luck. ww2censor (talk) 00:50, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
