Axe has a valid point. A wiki is run by a community. By removing content just becuase it it not well known, you hurt that community. It hurts the reputation by painting it's members as bias and thus an unrelibable source of information.

Mark also a point. If something is deleted, you shouldn't just re-write it and repeat the cycle. Other non-wikia based wikis tend to punish users for that. He also brings up limited space. That is a reasonable expectation to hold to all data.

However, Mark also brings up a rule. Under the implications of the rule, no groups should be on the wiki at all. This means All groups should removed, regardless of popularity.

No matter how you look at it, a rule is being broken. Hi!

This thread is over 3 years old, so a lot of the rules Mark mentioned might be outdated today. We also currently have a few "unofficial" loopholes to the notability policies that allow people to keep the pages they create even if they don't meet notability standards. All pages in the userspace (User:Editorname/Pagename) do not need to follow the notability policies, but the tradeoff is that editors are not obligated/encouraged to maintain the pages in the userspace like pages in the mainspace (the creator of the userspace page is the primary person maintaining the page).
