Telephone numbers in Austria

Specifically fails What Wikipedia is not, overly detailed. Punkmorten (talk) 16:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This article reads like a how-to (ugh, why do people insist on using "you" so much?), but given the size of Category:Telephone numbers by country, many of which are sourced articles that don't read like how-tos (although they are unsourced wrecks). I think that this needs a further look. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:09, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks better, undoubtedly, but I'm still unsure that something like this belongs in WP. This could be considered a test case? Punkmorten (talk) 19:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's not written too well, but seeing as how other countries have encyclopedic versions of their important telephone numbers, then it would make sense for Austria to have one as well. Wizardman  14:38, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep. It's not a directory of telphone numbers in Austria, it's an article about the telephone numbering system in Austria. Squidfryerchef (talk) 16:56, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is an overview of how phone numbers are structured in a given country, as well as a list of a few of the "special numbers" such as the police. I don't consider that as a directory in the sense that should be excluded from Wikipedia, but as a legitimate topic for an article. --Itub (talk) 07:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
