Why hasn't anyone taken wikipedia's content and put in it another mediawiki setup run without a deletionist policy?

It is frequently proposed (e.g, this from 2008: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/wackypedia-wikipedia-for...) but I don't know of any that are even mildly successful. There are plenty of mirrors and forks, though. Naturally, Wikipedia has a list of them:

Not quite what you are looking for, but interesting resources nonetheless:

Deletionpedia:

See also the Semantic Web/Linked Data resource DBPedia (which tends to have poor uptime, so I am linking the DBPedialite here):
