Wikipedia has way too many articles on websites,

other types of internet content -- likely thousands.
The problem is that around 95% of those articles are not sourced (or
they are sourced from forum and blog posts) and at least 70% won't be
able to be sourced because they were never mentioned in the mainstream
press -- and probably very few were mentioned in books and journals.
I deleted about 50 of them, which looked totally non-notable
This seems a waste. Just because something hasn't been written about
by the mainstream press doesn't make it worthless to people reading
Wikipedia.

17 examples of pages you deleted today which I've rescued for the
Internet Wiki, but it's a shame so many hundreds like those are being
deleted every day rather than moved to a more suitable wiki or
rewritten to make them suitable for Wikipedia.
