Deletion of Area codes in Germany (2nd nomination)

Comment: I interpret "directory" in #DIR as lists of actual telephone numbers of people and businesses, not a list of area codes. However, I do agree that the article is a whole mess; it took a long time to load on my computer

Comment: As I mentioned above #DIR|Wikipedia is not a directory would mean the list has the name and actual numbers of people/companies. Coupld someone explain how this policy relates to a list of area codes? Thanks

Comment: I'll try not to pull  as an argument, (and I'm generally not a fan of lists) but we have a list which is 1) well-defined 2) satisfying #Purpose of lists#Information. I don't think #DIRECTORY applies: this is not a directory of loosely related data, but of ''cities''. I do acknowledge that :Category:Telephone numbering plans and :Category:Area codes are in a major mess in organization, naming and formatting, but I don't see why getting rid of well-organized information expanding Telephone_numbering_plan/European#Germany. If the consensus be that we don't need '''any''' such list (why Germany but not Area_codes_in_Austria|Austria? Or as a precedent?), so be it; but it needs a wider input from the community, at least in the form of a mass AfD

Comment: My remark regarding Austria wasn't meant as  but rather a request for clarification. If you wanted this one deleted as precedent, you just should have said so; mass nominations often work better that way (see e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anti-Hellenism, which caused an avalanche of deletion of similar crap). If one fails, it's probably better to stay away from mass-nominating all (otherwise, the people will tend to accuse you of being y.) Personally, I find  criteria somewhat vague,  so the arguments in LfDs often boil down to . I wouldn't be terribly upset if it's gone, but I do think that it's... erm... useful

Comment: The idea of integrating this into the Germany goes against the idea of offloading sub-content from articles that are large already. The cited #DIRECTORY clearly doesn't apply simply for the notability of each entry
