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

[WJhonson at aol.com]

I doubt that deleted stuff is libelous.
Libelous material is oversighted, not AfD'd which is what the mentioned  site 
is archiving.
The mentioned site is not archiving oversighted material.

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?
