Very interesting :)

I can see why most were deleted, I chose to view a few pages at random and they were:

- a really non-notable musician (probably self-promotion)

- a hoax ("The Independent City-State of Sonora")

- a game guide to Super Smash Brawl, this is probably something that should have gone on a blog / GameFAQs

- a witty bio about a non-notable person (probably self-bio, or a friend's)

I believe the four of them were deservedly well deleted. Two of the cases, the musician and the game guide, should be hosted elsewhere (personal blog or website).

"deservedly well deleted"

Under a critereon of "notability" that works great for dead trees but is largely irrelevant to an online primarily text reference.
