I also have no specific knowledge about htis issue. I am merely trying to explain to you how wiki maintenance *should* work in general.

A simple and very useful rule is: If you want to encourage other people to edit your wiki, don't delete their work just because you don't understand its usefulness.

See here, for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipediaeletion_policy

Indiscriminate creation of wiki pages of varying quality & usefulness does not make a better wiki, any more than allowing graffiti inside an art gallery makes a better art resource.
Indiscriminate deletion is worse. It might mean that the wiki has no useless pages, but it becomes useless as a whole.
