When a friend forwarded this I assumed it was going to be a
depressing read, filled with useful gems which had been lost due
to the cruel symbiosis between processmongering and deletionism,
but you know, in these 20 cases at least, I think we got it right.

Actually, there is one in there that strikes me as valid: the shield-mate one. 
I know I've read about the idea before in multiple contexts, and there's the 
obvious historical example of the Sacred Band. I don't know if it's *correct*, 
and it looks like no one has ventured into academia for some sources so 
deletion is likely, but that's far from a clear case.
