The first thing I remembered was the deletion nomination spree that took down a bunch of programming language articles a couple years back (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=2215168" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=2215168</a>). It took quite a bit of internet backlash for this to get noticed and reversed - something that probably wouldn&#x27;t happen for lesser known articles. I can&#x27;t cite any other examples off the top of my head, but I know I&#x27;ve run into dead bookmarks once in a while for obscure Linux&#x2F;OSS related articles on Wikipedia. Though I guess it&#x27;s debatable if those lost articles really had any worth.
