Many articles in pt are deleted without any logical criteria even if this article have being writen in other languages (Orange Pi for example). Professional bodies articles in Brasil are beeing deleted by the obscure none sense logical of the wikipedia revisor. Some articles are deleted others not deleted, no one could ever know why because the contente are the same. I propose that junk article could be marked as junk, fake, incomplete but could no longer being hidden from wikipedia. So, any one could start from that scrach to improved the quality of information provided.
