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.

somehow Wikitruth has access to every single deleted page on

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.
