We aren t depriving people of informationthe internet is wide open and pretty much anyone can post whatever they want on a personal web site or blog There are even sites that specialize in hosting information that has been deleted from wikipedia All of the information posted on WP is release for public usage you can take the old article and put it up wherever you has permission to do so If you re not willing to engage in discussion in the appropriate venue I doubt you ll convince other editors to your view and here consensus is a very important concept I hope you understand
