Pincodes of Hyderabad City[edit]

Wikipedia is not a repository of indiscriminate information. Lists of pincodes aren't encyclopedic material. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 04:11, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No sources, no indications of notability, no kind of explanation (I have no idea what a pincode is and the article offered no information). TJ Spyke 04:40, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. These appear to be the Indian equivalent of United States ZIP codes, but is simply a list of those codes with locations. This appears to be nothing more than a list thereof. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 07:35, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This needs There are lots of articles similar in construction to this for other countries - see Category:Lists of postal codes, however all of them seem to have at least some explanation and introduction that this article lacks. I know WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid keep rationale, and similar articles have been deleted in the past - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of ZIP Codes in the United States by state, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of postal codes in India, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Swiss postal codes 1000-1999, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of postal codes in Sri Lanka. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of postcodes in the Australian Capital Territory appears not to have come to a definitive consensus. These are all the deletion debates that link to the category, I've not looked for others, nor have I looked in detail at the debates to try and see if there is any pattern to what was deleted and what kept. No vote from me at present. Thryduulf (talk) 09:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only argument for keeping this and the other Pincode entries seems to be variants of "it's useful information", but being useful isn't itself enough to merit an entry, otherwise we'd have entries for movie listings and "places you might have left your car keys".
