On the other hand, it's very handy to see the page *was* deleted, so admins can handle queries about it, and if you oversighted all the revisions this might not be the case.
The problem is that the deleted stuff isn't being cleared from time to time any more with the result that many artices have deleted stuff. This makes it hard to do selective deletes and has the risk of stuf being acidentaly undeleted. This is a risk best not taken with DMCA stuff.
