Are these the servers that wikipedia no longer require due to the increasing number of deletions being made recently? As of today, I will no longer be contributing to MediaWiki through bugfixes. The reason for this being that: the amount new content is decreasing, and the amount of articles being deleted is increasing. Even recently I noticed that there is proposals for deletions on Wikipedia of article about the Australian National University and its colleges, as apparently they are not notable enough and all should be merged into one article.
