Part of the value of keeping an article from deletion is the history of edits doesn't disappear.
A big part of my motivation in suggesting the use of Wikipedia as the basis for the Hutter Prize for Lossless Compression of Human Knowledge was the virulence of the editors of Wikipedia needs to be objectively analyzed. When an article is distorted the editorial history tells a very important meta-tale. When an article is deleted, their tracks are covered. I don't think it is any coincidence that the E-Cat article is up for deletion at this point in time. I suspect its an attempt to delete the edit history -- or at least make it harder to go back and figure out what is really going on in a society that produces something like Wikipedia's virulent content.
