[edit] Austrian postal codes 2000-2099

Austrian postal codes 2000-2099 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article and all similar articles in Category:Postal codes of Austria do nothing but list hundreds of postal codess and their corresponding geographic areas. As Wikipedia is not a postal directory, I propose that these articles be deleted. Please note that a similar AfD discussion regarding postal codes in the United States (see here) was concluded on April 21 with a decision to "delete". The closing of that AfD discussion was challenged at deletion review here. -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 01:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

A previous discussion on these articles was held two years ago and ended in "no consensus". See here. -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 01:17, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages:

• Delete Far better to have an article on the postal system of that nation with a link to their website, where one could find accurate and up to date postal codes. There is no merit in Wikipedia attempting to replicate every list to be found on the web, and then to try and keep them updated as they change. Edison 03:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all per above. MER-C 04:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete the segmented/detailed listings per precedent. Neier 09:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all per above. We could have similar articles for every country. → Aktar ^{(talk • contribs)} — 09:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all. Textbook example of WP:NOT#DIR. Need I explain further? Arkyan • ^(talk) 15:44, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all: these are directory listings, and wikipedia is not a directory. Ohconfucius 05:33, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all I don't know if I can say this without sounding like some sort of parrot, but wikipedia is not a directory, and I see no reason for an exception to be made here. Pax:Vobiscum 15:39, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
