[edit] 01207

An article about a regional dialling code? Good heavens. Nom under WP:NOT#INFO AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 20:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - Actually, we do have articles on area codes. For example, see Category:Area codes in the United States. -- Whpq (talk) 22:10, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Withdraw nom and propose move. Oh good grief, so we do. I was of the opinion that WP:NOT#DIR applied here, led in that direction by the shockingly poor state of the article and the fact I couldn't turn up much of a similar nature. This is not information that can't be found on the inside cover of a UK telephone directory, and I still don't believe it's suitable material for an encyclopedia, but anyway, I'll speedily withdraw my nom and suggest that 01207 should be moved to a name (at least give it a proper title, for heaven's sake) that is a bit more encyclopedic.

Comment - for what its worth, my personal opinion is that I agree with you. But a mass nomination of area code articles would stand a snowball's chance in hell of passing. -- Whpq (talk) 22:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment. You are right, my friend. And thanks. Think I'll go for a lie down in a darkened room. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 22:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep all content that can be referenced otherwise delete as WP:OR, There are multiple articles about area codes. While I am not aware of any policy directly supporting them, current consensus seems to be keep them as evidenced by Category:Area codes in the United States.
