Notability

Resolved

This article doesn't meed Wikipedia standards for independent notability. It's just a set of commemorative stamps, the likes of which the world's postal services issue by the dozens every month. The existence of articles about its release don't establish notability; you can find articles about countless special-interest or pop-culture stamps... none of which warrant articles, either. In fact, there are rather few articles in Wikipedia about individual stamps, and those are only because they are exceptionally notable, either due to their rarity or some other unique trait (e.g. misprints). Granted, this stamp set has a little more notoriety than a typical stamp-of-the-month, but it's still just three stamps, and it can be (and is) covered adequately in Tom of Finland. -Jason A.
