If that were really an issue, Articles would never be allowed to be deleted. An example: 
http://unicornbacon.com/blog/2007/05/06/weird-wiki-markovian-parallax-denigrate/ has content from Wikipedia, 
with a link to the article on EnWp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markovian_parallax_denigrate The article 
has since been deleted via AfD - so all re-use of that article that existed prior to deletion now has broken attribution. 


Of course, I'm not sure if WMF has really looked in-depth at this, from a legal angle.
