Karl,

people do not 'delete' wiki pages. For one you have to be an editor to
delete, for two it is against best practice. If you need assistance in
working out where best to place it and link it from, please do ask.
Orphaned pages are also against 'best practice', prefferably your tutorials
should have a link to them from another wiki page. An example of how that
can be done was excellently shown when Chris moved a tutorial that was on
my own forum area[1] onto the wiki area.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels has
a
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels#Problems
link
to that page, so it can be found from a master page and is not an orphan.
You guys take the time to write tutorials, please do not let the sands of
time let them wither and die.

Regards,

Phill.
