Deletion of Area code 856

Comment: as a populated place. Thousands of people live in and use this area code. Obviously Area code 212 is notable, and there is no sense trying to set some arbitrary threshold at which an area code becomes notable. Assigning area codes is a political and bureaucratic process, that generates plenty of  info from primary and secondary sources, so  is moot. References to OT#DIR are also way off the mark here

Comment: This article is about an area code, and describes the evolution of this area code as part of the North American Numbering Plan. It contains no phone numbers, so it's not a phone book. Nor does this article does NOT meet any of the criteria of #DIR, which includes 1) Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as (but not limited to) quotations, aphorisms, or persons (real or fictional) '''No'''; 2) Genealogical entries or phonebook entries. '''No'''; 3) Directories, directory entries, electronic program guide, or a resource for conducting business. '''No''', or; 4) Sales catalogs '''Not even close'''. I assume the confusion revolves around the phrase "phonebook entries", but the policy specifies "Wikipedia is not the white pages", which clearly refers to listings of phone numbers, and this article (at best) only contains the first three digits of any phone number.  is often used to mean virtually anything, but in this case it has absolutely no relevance to the article in question
