The chief reason to be deleting something (as opposed to redirecting it to a more appropriate article or replacing it with a better one) is that it includes copyrighted material that we don't have permission to distribute.

Technically, it's probably not that kosher even to make the works available to admins.
They're "available" only in the same way that you can scrounge things out of the trash bin before it's emptied.
