Semi-deletion (concept): Difference between revisions

'''Semi-deletion''', or '''pure wiki deletion''', was a {{tag|WikiIdea|proposal}}, initially raised in late [[:Category:FoundedIn2003|2003]], for a revamping of [[wiki]]s' deletion processes on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] that never materialised.  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 [[user]]s power to view revisions of deleted pages (i.e. those stored in the {{tag|wiki}} sites' {{Mw|Manual:archive table|archive table}}).  A counter-argument to this was that pages deleted for being, say, [[copyvio]]s, would not be suitable to be viewed by all users.
