My experience with the Lubuntu wiki team has mirrored my real life.
In real life, it's hard to part with precious things, that can't be
replaced.

On the Lubuntu wiki, it's hard to discard info that isn't recorded or
indexed anywhere else, info that means hours of time to users.

Wikipedia doesn't have this problem, BECAUSE THEY DON'T INDEX ALL
INFO, JUST ENCYCLOPEDIA.
If Wikipedia deletes something, that info is still recorded in 10
different places, with 10 different experts.
With the Lubuntu wiki, if a entry is discarded, it's possible that
it's gone forever.

So, on wikipedia, it's much easier to have a sane policy about deleting stuff:

I hope we can commit to organizing pages,
