Please, Oh, Please, Can we delete the (10 year old and counting) Draft Concept Guide on the Wiki?

The only reason I have heard is that they might serve as a set of templates for other pages.

Frank,

I've no objection to either moving them to your user page or deleting them altogether, though I wonder whether moving them will stop Google from finding them.
