The question before us isn't what you should do with text removed from the main article; it's whether the text should be removed from the main article at all. As I said, hiding useful information in this way seems strange and counterproductive. Certainly there is some content that should be removed from main articles at times; the point of this thread, as I understand it, is whether or not this particular content should have been hidden in this way.

It wasn't my intention to claim that archiving removed text in the talk section was a bad idea as a general practice. I've done it myself on Wikipedia and elsewhere. Please stick to the topic at hand.
