Much of the content is already covered at passport stamp, and this is just a pure list, not prose. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 09:55, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Merge to Passport stamp. Ajf773 (talk) 10:30, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a really useful for table and merging it would make the other article far too big. — Calvin999 10:42, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I don't see the point in merging it, as it is just a gallery and contains little of informational value compared to Passport stamp. Wikipedia is not the Commons. I would be against merging content without the detail, i.e. just the images, especially if it is unsourced. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 10:53, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

- I have raised a copyright concern here about the images reproduced in this article. If they are found to violate copyright then the whole basis for having this article disappears. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 11:08, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
. So I think it should be addressed. - Champion (talk) (contribs) (Formerly TheChampionMan1234) 11:19, 14 September 2016 (UTC)There is also the passport to consider. Passports issued by some countries are PD whereas passports issued by other countries are copyrighted. What is the copyright status of this passport? Unless the issuing country, which is unidentified, doesn't protect its passports, then the image may need to be deleted. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:05, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

- Keep per the notability guideline on stand-alone lists, the relevant guideline for this article, which is a stand-alone list of passport stamps. The guideline states that notability of a list is based on the group and "a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources." Groups of passport stamps and collecting passport stamps has been discussed at length by many independent reliable sources. Here are just a few reliable sources but many many more are available:

- Also, regarding copyright status, some stamps have copyright protection other than CC-by-SA. For example:
- File:Kleines Dienstsiegel der Deutschen Botschaft Bangkok.jpg is in the public domain according to German copyright law because it is part of an official work issued by a German federal authority. This goes for all German passports and German passport stamps.
- File:Slovenia rigonce exit.jpg is in the public domain according to Article 4, case 2 of the Polish Copyright Law Act of February 4, 1994 because it is an official document.
- Several other images are CC-Zero or otherwise Public Domain. Each questionable passport stamp would need to be brought up at COMMONS:Commons:Deletion requests. - tucoxn\talk 04:16, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
