At
http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_postal_and_zip_codes_of_the_wor…,
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_wor….

It was decided at Wikipedia that raw data such as
lists of postcodes were not encyclopedic, which is
why
they moved from Wikipedia to ps.wikipedia in the
first
place.
"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.
