ah, a postal code is similar to zipcodes in the us, or areacode in England (except those are very very accurate compared to ours). We have 36 679 communes.

I believe it's probably very similar in the usa. But that means if you put 78000 : it is Versailles. You could have a nice article on Versailles maybe ? But 78001 is also Versailles, so what do you put here ? And in the 38140, there are several villages concerned...
Ah, but then what would we do when the year 38140 comes around? ;-)
By then Wikipedia will have long since become the core of a godlike universal AI, able to disambiguate queries (which will be expressed not as verbal or written queries, but as low-level fluctuations in the post-organic brains of individuals) instantaneously and precisely.
Disambiguation pages are, of course, just a necessity of imperfect technology.
