What is it?
[edit]I just cleaned up this article for grammar, spelling and redundancies. As I was doing so, I noticed that it never tells us what a "miniature sheet" is. A good definition of the term is needed for this article. As written, it's a good afd candidate. -- MisterHand 16:10, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Rename
[edit]The more common philatelic term is "souvenir sheet". Note that the article uses the term "souvenir sheet" repeatedly rather than "miniature sheet". Also, some souvenir sheets are as large as a full (say 25+ stamp) sheet but only have a few stamps and a lot of illustrated border. This article should definately be renamed "souvenir sheet."

- Either term would be fine with me. Interestingly, the Papua New Guinea post makes an official distinction; see . Stan 15:37, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
postal use
[edit]Article says: "...a handful of usages may be found as philatelic covers."
While that's certainly true, there are any number of ways a souvenir sheet could come into the possession of a non-collector who, not appreciating its significance, could then use it for postage, either cut from the sheet, or as a whole sheet if it's small enough. 2600:4040:5D38:8100:656A:7F1F:476B:BB27 (talk) 12:11, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
