Old talk pages with solved problems are deleted.
This is extremely strange. Talk pages are part of the article history. Ortega's thesis should be updated, perhaps. «The combination of a very active cohort of bots, together with the very low ratio of talk pages, indicates that the Polish language version is not following the same organizational pattern found in other language editions. Such a low ratio of talk pages points out the little effort undertaken on coordination actions and discussion about article contents in the Polish version.» (http://libresoft.es/Members/jfelipe/phd-thesis , p. 91)
Indeed. I've always opposed deleting of any talk pages, but the rules are not build to facilitate research :(
Mind you, on en wiki some very interesting deletions were lost when their accompanying articles (or in some cases, policy pages and such) were deleted... :(
