Way too short a list. No sources, no sign that it'll be expanded. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 18:18, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Postage stamps and postal history of Hungary. bd2412 T 18:33, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
Comment: It's quite easy to expand it by using an extensive list in hu:Magyar postabélyegeken ábrázolt személyek listája. For the sources, it would be sufficient to indicate a major catalog, e.g. Scott catalogue. --Michael Romanov (talk) 20:23, 23 January 2011 (UTC) Keep in view of an excellent revision. --Michael Romanov (talk) 16:18, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is one of ~~dozens of~~ over a hundred similar philatelic lists in the Category:Lists of people on stamps. Ecphora (talk) 03:53, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Being "way too short a list" is not grounds for deletion and you could apply the "no sign that it'll be expanded" arguement to any stub/article on here. I've just expanded it with a reference. As per Ecphora, it forms part of series of other countries. There's also a sizeable article in Hungarian too, so I've added the expand/translate tag to the English version. In short, it's a notable list on a notable topic. Lugnuts (talk) 07:54, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have just begun slowly working through these articles sourcing and expanding the data. I could start work on Hungary if incompleteness/sourcing are the only issues but had been hoping that someone with a European catalogue would do this (I've been concentrating on the Commonwealth because my catalogues are from a British publisher).

Keep per above.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:37, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep due to ongoing improvement compared to the original version this (valid) AfD was raised on. I recommend a userspace draft for similar articles to avoid the problem of creating an unsourced article. I note that a number of inter-wiki sites have been footnoted, these are not reliable sources.

Keep this is going to be a hefty list when it's done. Will be interesting to see if en: has articles on all of them... (This is why I commit to getting one of these lists up to several pages when first creating, otherwise random editors won't realize there's plenty of substance.)
