The reasons for deletion don't seem that outlandish to me. I'd rather not see them deleted, but I also don't think this outcome is that surprising, nor would I describe it as a "memory wipe."
This « rule » is infuriating. Google searches are tailored to serve us content that might interest us. In this case, Google search first page returns plenty of notable results for me. Might not be the case for a person interested in geology and dogs, though.
How could such a biased thing be a valid WikiPedia criteria?
I'll never understand the amount of vitriol Wikipedia volunteers must receive. Why is the deletion (or even deletion proposal) regarded as such a heinous act that people feel the need to attack and bully others?
I find this kind of behaviour and rethoric wholly unacceptable.

"Abstract
An example of an emergent, self-organizing on-line social
learning system is available at the PerlMonks site at
http://perlmonks.org/. Perl is a scripting language
commonly used to as an interface between databases and
web pages. Provided in this paper is a review of principles
of emergent, self-organizing systems from a perspective
of learning systems as well as case study of PerlMonks as
self-organizing eLearning."

"From a Google search, I wasn’t able to find" appears multiple times on that page alone.

Why is that still relevant?
Or to put it another way when does the contemporary move into interesting history?
I searched it, the site is down The Wikipedia article is deleted
This is pure loss of information somehow.
I and a lot of other people in the future will never know what "perlmonks" is/are, how important it was?, etc. etc.
The logic seems to be: if tomorrow Stack Exchange disappears, the Wikipedia article will be deleted? If yes, then that makes zero sense.
