Indeed. And just to be explcit, I'm not actually suggesting that talk
page archives should be deleted. Just that if one wants to get
absolutist about the GFDL in this way one can make pretty much the same
case for them. The fact that BJAODN entries often have the source
article listed does make them more similar than it seems at first glance.
