Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Portugal doesn't say anything about stamps and there's no other reason these images would be in the public domain since the hasn't been dead for 70 + years. So they should be deleted as COPYVIO per the precautionary principle. Unless someone can provide evidence to the contrary.

@Evrik: Why would they? Stamps aren't news of the day or reports of various events. They aren't Applications, allegations, complaints and other texts submitted in writing or orally. They aren't proposed texts and speeches delivered to assemblies or other collegiate bodies. Nor are they political speeches, or texts of conventions, laws, regulations, reports and administrative and judicial decision, or anything else mentioned in {{PD-Portugal-exempt}}. Otherwise how about you tell me which item you think they would qualify under and how exactly that's the case? --Adamant1 (talk) 00:09, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination. I don't see any evidence that these 1993 stamps would be exempt from copyright in Portugal as claimed, neither COM:Portugal nor COM:Stamps support this. The author is apparently an artist named Carlos Leitão; I could not find any data about him, but he was active into the 2000s and so is probably alive or at least died not so long ago. --Rosenzweig τ 19:14, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
