As a former resident of this area, that was actually a citizen of the city of Minnetonka, I cannot stress enough how confusing it was to get cabs or packages. People would automatically start at Wayzata, and not understand we were on the other side of the lake other side of the causeway etc. I modeled this page on a similar phenom that occurs in Beverly Hills, CA. The area code is larger than the city of Beverly Hills.
In Wayzata's case, the real power and money, is outside its city limits, but within the area code.

Why was this article redirected? The edit summery says "we cover ZIP codes in the city articles" but there's nothing in the Wayzata, Minnesota article about ZIP codes or Wayzata Post Office, and the redirect it misleading. It makes it look like Wayzata Post Office and Wayzata are the same thing, even tough (according to the target's hatnote) Wayzata Post Office is a "much larger area". then Wayzata.

You have ref citations that are pulling from the city and not the PO, they are not defined hence the error. I will tage this as a merge later, its a wreck and in fact, incorrect data wise Coal town guy ( talk) 18:47, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
SUPPORT MERGE No ref, no data, the main editor wants it to be an unincorporated community, the onus is on the editor. I found a ref for the po, its NOT notable in any way other than the fact its a post office of a city. UNLESS, ANYONE can show the glory and notability of this needs to be merged.

Back ground on why the article was created. The area known as "wayzata" is misleading. As the original article stated, the area includes municipalities surrounding it, which of course is not unusual in and by itself. What is unusual is the addresses that occur within the Wayzata zip code that are in different municipalities. This list is off the top of my head, but can be substantiated.
I kept adjusting the article on Cargill, but because it's zip code is Wayzata's it is listed as that, thus not being in Minnetonka.
The well meaning editors having a problem with this, are missing the point. Rather than slap a misleading redirect, why wouldn't the well intentioned, but action challenged editors incorporate the verbiage from this article into the Wayzata Minnesota with a bookmark redirect?
This redirect harms the accuracy of articles. What sort of proof is sufficient? a map of the geographic area?
The May 1980 Town and Country magazine, profiled Wayzata, but actually profiled the area code. This article was created to fix mistakes like that. People turn to wikipedia for information. The "notability" of this area is the number of times it is used to describe an address for notable article subjects and it implies incorrect and misleading information.
The Beverly Hills PO area is considered a geographic region by area realtors. No similar thing exists in the wayzata PO. But lacking any model for such a situation as stating a person or business is in a particular city, when it is actually up to three municipalities or a body of water away, is as misleading as telling Chinese Laborers they have jobs in "America" in the form of Guam.
There are real needs in Wikipedia, and this article in wikipedia served a small purpose, and its elimination through lazy redirection was not a real need, nor an improvement to wikipedia, but perhaps an example of misinformed vandalism.
