I have just discovered that a bunch of these have been obliterated as an unfortunate side-effect of an entirely right-minded drive to delete orphan talk pages.
The particular page which I stumbled across is [[Talk:Constitutional_Charter_of_Serbia_and_Montenegro/Delete]]
...which I have now moved back to the appropriate VFD sub-page. I also took the liberty of topping and tailing it as per current practice.
If I read this correctly the AFD/VFD discussion was put on the talk page when it belonged on a A or VFD subpage. Why was it there to begin with.
Actually it started out as a sub-page of VFD and for some strange reason was moved to a sub-page of the talk page of the article.
I don't particularly like moving old VFD discussions to AFD either. It obscures their age.
The age should be obvious from the contents. I have no personal problem with mass-moving VFD discussions to AFD, assuming that naming conflicts are sensibly dealt with: I see it as simply a rather extended move operation :-)
