Pointless list that's inaccurately conflating two distinct things, similar on the surface but not actually related to each other at all, into one merged thing. Although it's true that ZIP Codes in the United States and Postal codes in France happen to have the same basic structure, and thus look like each other, that doesn't mean that there's any value in lists that intermingle US and French mail codes to treat them as if they were part of a single unified system.

Delete I can't remember the last time I saw an article as arbitrary as this combination of different countries' entirely independent systems of postal codes merely because they begin with the same two digits. Any why include the areas of US zip codes? In reality, postal service zip codes do not have areas, but the census's ZCTAs do. This is astonishingly baffling. Can't believe I'm wasting time looking at List of postal codes, but there appear to be 80 countries that use NNNNN and there's no reason to list them in the same place numerically, such meaningless trivia.

Upon further inspection the initial author only had US places, and a second person added the French places, which is baffling because Postal codes in France are not called ZIP codes. Regardless, we have List of ZIP Code prefixes and we are not a WP:DIRECTORY for all of the individual ones, which are on city articles' infoboxes and easily searchable on the USPS or census websites.

Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and also a useless lump-together of both American and French postal codes. Ajf773 (talk) 08:41, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Category:Lists of postal codes already list each nation's postal/zip codes. This article serves no purpose. Dream Focus 09:10, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Zip codes aren't used in France, they're called postal codes (codes postaux). Oaktree b (talk) 14:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per NOTDIRECTORY and not even comprehensive; some American zips in the range are missing from this very confusing two-system list. Nate • (chatter) 23:24, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
