I've always thought that blanking the page and replacing it with a
template which says it's historical and *links* to the historical version of the page would be a good solution that balances preserving history with deemphasizing outdated information.
This would make info show up in searches still, which we definitely do not want. Seems that deleting is a better option.

We have a documentation cleanup day coming up soon, and we've just got
delete permissions so we can actually clean.
Please don't delete old content, mark it as {{historical}} or {{outdated}} and archive it instead.
I'm all for following the norm here, but wouldn't that mean it still shows up in searches? That's what I'm trying to avoid, minimizing the confusion.
