I don't really disagree with any of that.  But an article can be full
of original research, and be about a comic which isn't mentioned in
any secondary reliable sources, but still be useful.

It wouldn't be useful for Wikipedia, but still something I'd like to
have access to.  It's actually a good example of the reason I'd like
to be able to access deleted articles.  Useless in Wikipedia doesn't
mean useless altogether.
