Many people want to contribute information we don't want to host, because it's not information that's appropriate for an encyclopedia, such as hate speech, severely biased opinions, corporate advertisements, personal attacks on living people, etc.
I think it may be a bit overboard comparing merely unwanted articles to some of that stuff. (The rest of your point is entirely correct - free content means freedom to do things people won't like as well as things they will like.)
Yeah, basically we should not be handing hate speech, personal attacks, etc, that we have deleted to anyone. That's republishing and would expose us to secondary liability if there are legal problems.
