Yeah, deleting pages is generally not a very good idea. If you delete
the page, the links to those 12 wiki pages that link to it will break.
If a page is not doing any harm, then it is best to leave it. That sort
of spec page is the sort of thing that might be useful for the
forthcoming developer conference. Even pages that are not obviously
useful can be put into the CategoryArchive: they will inevitably be
useful for somebody.
