Deleting wiki pages

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Ahah.  Yeh that covers it neatly.  Keeping the pages somewhere but losing the 
history and stuff at least keeps some of the hard work.  Perhaps the whole lot 
could be sent upstream to Gnome's Documentation Team?
Regards from
Tom :)

Sounds good to me, anything to reduce clutter is a good thing. I'm
sure there's a lot more than 130 pages that need deleting to so I
guess I should refresh myself on all the tags available and get going
on them.

Quick reminder to the list, when tagging for deletion it's best
practice to make a comment as to why it's being deleted as per
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tag . I went to check some of those
pages to make sure there was nothing needed (from my perspective) and
instead of being able to easily and clearly see a reason in a comment
I had to guess why someone tagged it as such.

Nice work Phil
