London N1

There are approximately 2,480 postcode districts (e.g. London N1) in the UK. They are arranged into 124 postcode areas (e.g. N postcode area) which cover regions usually centred on a major town or city. There are articles for most of the postcode areas. There should not be articles for each of the 2,480 postcode districts. The information contained within them is replicated in the postcode area articles and in the articles of the places they relate to. MRSC • Talk 12:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Redirect to N postcode area or SE postcode area as is appropriate - Articles are not needed for these postcodes, as they cannot provide much additional information that is not already given in other articles. For example, much of what could be said about the area lying within London N10 is already said within Muswell Hill. However, the articles should be converted into redirects to appropriate articles on the postcode system (N postcode area or SE postcode area). This is already what has been done for other London postcodes (e.g. SW5 is a redirect to SW postcode area). Dr. Submillimeter 13:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Redirect as per Dr. Submillimeter above. No need for individual articles. EliminatorJR 23:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep There are well over 1,500,000 articles on Misplaced Pages so it is absurd to complain about another 2,000 or so. Some of the articles on postcode districts were more than bare stubs before MRSC turned them all into redirects, wiping quite a lot of info in the process.--Runcorn 23:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment - There was not a single piece of information on those stubs that was not contained elsewhere in WP. MRSC • Talk 23:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
