I would make a distinction between "gems" and "articles that should not be deleted". Good articles are rarely put on AfD (an exception is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/TransLink_%28So..., which I started myself and wholly acknowledge received a *lot* of effort; but which is not an encyclopaedia article).
I'd personally disagree, and have so voted. I feel this is a case where 'Wiki is not paper' applies: it would never be a paper encyclopedia article because it could never be up to date.
At worst, it should be transwikied to a more suitable project, but the fact is, the interest in maintaining it is here, not elsewhere.
