I'm a graduate student doing research on Wikipedia and am interested in doing analysis on deleted pages. Ideally, I would like a raw dump of all the deleted pages in Wikipedia's history. From my understanding the SQL command would look something like this:

SELECT * FROM archive

Version: unspecified
Severity: minor

The articles are deleted for good reasons. Maybe we can give you an list of deleted articles, but no versions or texts of corse.

Not a good idea according to Brion Vibber in IRC. I actually wonder why we have this private data available on the toolserver...
