I would not consider this to be proper processing, but for our lovely "*Some ad hoc process was followed (but a process nonetheless!), plus the subject has never been on the cover of multiple english-language magazines, keep deleted. ~~~~" trolls of DRV, just about anything is good enough.
To keep the collateral damage at a minimum, we should at least specify that such an article can be restored by anyone who has made a good faith effort to improve it, or recreated from scratch if the former revisions contained libelous statements (might happen 1 in 500) or copyright-infringing content (probably a lot more common, considering the millions of books that will never be published online for comparison).
