Articles are not only deleted for being crap, sometimes an article is
also deleted for containing possibly libellous information or info
that could violate someone's privacy. Access to such information
should be limited to a minimum of people. Keeping it as historical
evidence in case we need it in legal accusations so we can retrace who
said what and posted what is essential to Wikipedia, which is why
something is rarely completely purged from the database.
