At http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_postal_and_zip_codes_of_the_worl..., Fonzy made the suggestion to move the page to Wikisource and for nearly two months, no-one objected to that.
That would appear to me to be a strong sign of consensus that the decision had been accepted, rather than a sign of anything inconclusive, and I fully support Patrick's decision to action Fonzy's suggestion.
Following the movement of the material elsewhere, Martin redirected the page to ZIP code. The article was never removed from Wikipedia and I have temporarily reverted the redirect so the issue can be re-discussed at http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_postal_and_zip_codes_of_the_worl....

"It was decided" - passive verb - by whom?
The debate at Talk:Lists of postal and zip codes of the world/Delete
http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_postal_and_zip_codes_of_the_world/Delete
. seems inconclusive, so there wasn't much of a decision there. The move to ps seems to have come as a convenient afterthought that really didn't get much discussion. It should be sent back to Wikipedia where all the linkages can be established.
