By the way, our free licenses also need to show the text authors. Thousand people re-use the contents and link to the Wikipedia page. As far as I know, no history is available now at Italian Wikipedia to look up. CC-BY-SA/GFDL violation?
If that were really an issue, Articles would never be allowed to be deleted. An example: http://unicornbacon.com/blog/2007/05/06/weird-wiki-markovian-parallax-denigr... has content from Wikipedia, with a link to the article on EnWp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markovian_parallax_denigrate The article has since been deleted via AfD - so all re-use of that article that existed prior to deletion now has broken attribution.
Of course, I'm not sure if WMF has really looked in-depth at this, from a legal angle.
