thanks for replying off hand i'm not convinced that investigating your reply wizard and how it works would have speeded up this conversation i checked the deletion log before querying this with you it merely refers to criteria f invalid fair use claim without any further explanation of exactly why as you have now given in this instance the stamp image is not used simply as an illustration where as per policy an alternative illustration for example by scanning the covers and creating a similar collage could have been created it also makes an important contribution to the discussion of the series by demonstrating that it is sufficiently important for a stamp to have been created depicting the series as a whole the existence of the stamp itself is noteable for a mention in the article i note that criteria is not a wiki policy but merely a guideline and is stated to be one example of acceptable usage not an exhaustive list the policy above states that usage must follow the spirit of the policy at the top of the page not the guideline list of examples regards
