I have just receive emails from Anthony DiPierro and NSK saying that, yes, they are seriously interested in access to the stream of material deleted from Wikipedia. NSK says "If they are legal and are not copyright violations."
Unfortunately, the _number_ of items is too large for one person to deal with _manually_.
What's the next step? Technical help will certainly be needed.

Just to clarify: Only material deleted via the VfD process.

Until we code a solution in software, you can inform the authors of the deleted material that they can publish them at http://jnana.wikinerds.org
The JnanaBase wiki does allow anons and is now GFDL.
An idea to deal with this - for non copyright vios, we can use a new feature only available on wikis to give automatic access to page histories for anyone who wants to see it - use PAGE BLANKING, instead of deletion! All the benefits,and none of the downsides, plus, it doesn't make that horrible screaching noise like fingernails being dragged down a blackboard, that only those in tune with Wiki principles seem able to hear ;) Mark

Why? I thought this whole argument arose out of objections to speedy deletions.

Write a policy page and a note on the Deletion policy and VfD pages that all articles should be copied to wherever prior to deletion.
