Semi-deletion (concept)

Semi-deletion or pure wiki deletion was a proposal for a revamping of wikis' deletion processes that never went much of anywhere. It would have established a new tier of deletion, page semi-deletion, in addition to the already-existing page deletion and revision deletion. Brian Wolff remarked that it might suffice to give all users power to view revisions of deleted pages (i.e. those stored in the archive table). The counter-argument to this was that pages deleted for being, say, copyvios, would not be suitable to be viewed by all users.
