[WikiEN-l] Deletion of articles, archival, etc.

[Nathan]

Your suggestion might make sense if there were some greater value to having
broad access to deleted content from Wikipedia. Other sites might find
something worth seeing among the morass of deleted articles, but a lot of
that "content" is poisonous, libelous, or simply and sometimes harmfully
wrong. Why would we need to make it easier for people to see that stuff? For
the instances where content of relative value is deleted? Those pages would
be sort of a needle in a gigantic pile of manure, wouldn't they, and so
wouldn't the negatives clearly outweigh the positives on this one?
