From the day i came here, I routinely copied all the text from
articles on AfD that I thought might get deleted but that I would want to try to improve and re-create, and stored it off wiki. I still do it. I have gone back and used a few for new articles, but most are still for use "when I have the time". (But I keep it inaccessible to Google.)
I do something similar with email and other online services in my real work. It's been very useful there, once with respect to a malicious system administrator who went in and changed the metadata.

And somehow Wikitruth has access to every single deleted page on Wikipedia.
Those could have been grabbed before they were deleted. Just snarf up everything that has an AFD/prod/speedy tag on it and stick it on Wikitruth if it does get deleted.
That would be an extraordinarily large effort. It's possible, but I think it again makes more sense to apply Occam's razor here.
