List of Postal Codes of Karachi

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

as per WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOT. we don't create these articles for every city in the world. Michellecrisp (talk) 03:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a directory. Edison (talk) 04:39, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete While it's true that I LIKE this list and think that it's USEFUL, there's precedent for deletion: see Articles for deletion/Lists of ZIP Codes in the United States by state. Nothing to show that this list is any different from the various US state lists that were deleted as a result of that discussion.  Nyttend (talk) 05:02, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per AfterMidnight on list of Lists-related deletion discussions; I have taken the liberty of inserting a link to the Pakistan Post Office list of postal codes on page Pakistan, and therefore the same situation now exists as did for US codes. Anarchangel (talk) 21:00, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - awful precedent for a list of things; see not a directory. Bearian (talk) 21:09, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and refactor into something less directory-like; perhaps into an article about the history of the use of postal codes in Karachi, which might or might not be merged in with the article on Karachi. I don't think this article sets a precedent for lists of postal codes for every city in the world—Karachi is the 20th largest city in the world. I also don't think the deletion of the zip code lists by state should be considered a precedent; they were deleted without a clear consensus to do so. DHowell (talk) 04:50, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
