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?

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 <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tag" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tag</a> . 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.
