Deletionpedia is a Web site which stores copies of articles deleted by Wikipedia. The original Deletionpedia operated from February to September 2008. The site was restarted under new management in December 2013.[1]
Wikipedia censorship attempt
In 2008, Wikipedia attempted to delete their entry on Deletionpedia. This censorship attempt failed due to bad press. This is not surprising, due to Wikipedia's track record of censorship.
