- Keep Category:Lists_of_postal_codes exist, there a lot of articles just like this one. A discussion about this should include all articles of this nature. This article was created on September 2006. No hurry in dealing with it. Also no valid reason given for deletion. Nowhere is there a rule saying that "Wikipedia is not a postal directory". Wikipedia is a lot of things, a great source of information of all sorts. Dream Focus 20:35, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Plenty of articles involving postal codes, and it's not a very long list. Switched it to a sortable table and linked out the parishes which makes it much more useful of a table, though codes for St. George, St. Lucy and St. Peter parishes need to be added.

- Delete: there is indeed a rule that says wikipedia is not a directory: WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Other articles that are just lists of postal codes don't follow it either. -- asilvering (talk) 21:29, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. We're not a directory. There is not a lot of context to this article either and a summary of postal codes can already be found in Barbados Postal Service. Ajf773 (talk) 01:56, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
