In the dawn of the DDR (1989/1990), many digital files of or regarding the Stasi were willingly destroyed to prevent prosecution or loss of personal reputation. Now, after the files were found, there was no more qualified personell to fix it. The BStU had a big problem. Besides that the Robotron computers in the appropriate number available, almost nobody could run them and their software (they were totally different from those what the West Germans used)... Maybe someone knows more about this recent case of digital amnesia and could contribute that to the article (or here). --Bapho talk 22:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Merge to digital obsolescence
[edit]I am certain this topic is not notable enough to hold its own in an article. At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital amnesia (2nd nomination), the reasoning behind the redirect and merge arguments was the most convincing. The single 'keep' argument was "per last AfD"; a non-argument. Consensus was clear: the article should be redirected and merged. As a result, I am changing this article into a redirect to digital obsolescence. Any worthwhile text from this article can still be extracted from archived versions of it and folded into the digital obsolescence article. Binksternet (talk) 03:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
