| Feb 15, 2012 at 21:47 | comment | added | Troyen | @StéphaneGimenez Sometimes I've tried to search for stuff on StackExchange (using both the built-in search and google site search) and I had to sift through a bunch of dead or outdated results before I find an actual answer to something. So I think appropriate deletion does make the Internet a better place, by making it easier for visitors to find what they are looking for. | |

Plus, I really don't think deleting any kind of human produced data makes the Internet a better place. Nobody care about useless digital stuff lying around; did the world ran out of hard-drives recently, or? | |
| Feb 15, 2012 at 21:26 | comment | added | Oak | I'd assume this would be rare, especially given the question is closed so probably not a good match to the site to start with. Plus, one cannot add this observation as an answer anyway. | |
