As a local historian, I would argue that keeping some of these online but with the spam removed, edits disabled, and a clear banner saying that they're no longer being updated might be the best way to deal with the issue. For example, this page: http://north-devon.openguides.org/wiki/?Terrace_Tapas_Bar might seem useless, but actually I've made use of similar comments in my own local history articles. Conversely, the Isle of Wight guide does seem not to have any real content, so I see no reason to keep it. It's up to you, though, since you're the one who would have to do the work of migration. Another option could be to clean up the spam and then make sure everything's in the Internet Archive before deleting the sites, though this makes it harder for a websearch to reveal the info. I pretty much gave up on spamtrapping on the Cambridge guide because it was non-trivial to update the spamcatcher module. Oxford seems to be doing OK, though - is that all manual or is someone keeping the spamcatcher module up to date? If the latter, could the two guides share a spamcatcher module? Kake

Hi Dom, I'm happy for the Cambridge guide to close. The world seems to have moved on from when we set it up on what feels a very long time ago, looking over the content many pages have been overwritten with spam, all I can see is that it will be collect to spam in the future.
