PS: and another article about forking/federating Wikipedia as an alternative to deletionism http://blog.jonudell.net/2015/01/22/a-federated-wikipedia/
This is an interesting idea to play with.
However, their criticism of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Content_forking is based on a misunderstanding.
That article forbids within-English Wikipedia forks (e.g. two separate histories of Europe, one written from the Russian perspective, one written from the German perspective).
Forking content to another site is fully allowed by the license, and better support for that (and merging it back later) would be an interesting experiment.
