The community standards establish the only reason for a revdel is personal information. The rest is you reading too much into guidelines on deleting pages that exist only to spam.

If a page exists only to spam, it gets deleted and is not publically viewable. Yet other spam just gets reverted and remains publically viewable.

Yes, that exactly.

I personally don't find any problem with it, but YMMV apparently.

 

If pages that exist only to spam get hidden from public view, why shouldn't other spam?

myrtonos@11:57, 6 March 2019

Ideally pages witch are spam would still be visible too, it's just impossible to achieve using this software.

This is a simple matter of transparency, it doesn't make any personal difference to me I can see deleted stuff anyway.

There is such a thing as ForgiveAndForget. If pages that are spam should be visible too, they could just be blanked.

myrtonos@12:30, 6 March 2019

Sadly there's no way then to deal with the titles being spam, or the fact it still appears as a page when searching.

But then I didn't design this software or write the guidelines for using it, I am just pointing out that people here think your approach to spam is a little unusual.
