[WikiEN-l] Alternative to Blanking Pages

[cprompt]

I was going to start doing this myself, but I figured it'd be better if 
people talked about it first, and more effective if they knew about it.

Instead of blanking articles why not replace the article text with a 
redirect to a boilerplate text with something along the lines of "The 
content of this article is being disputed. It has been blanked for the 
time being, though older version are still accessible through the Page 
History. It may have been blanked because of blatantly false 
information, or non-encyclopedic garbage. This article may be awaiting 
[[votes for deletion]], or awaiting a sysop to delete it. Please use the 
Talk Page to discuss this dispute if necessary, and check [[Votes for 
Deletion]]"

I wouldn't recommend that exact text be used, but basically, my idea is 
to redirect articles to a boilerplate text explaining what's going on 
rather than just blanking them.
That way, Googlers and people who located the article in the index or 
search function will know what's going on.
