Versus a page with potentially thousands of comments on them? They slow down page loading times and can make it nigh on impossible for tablets to process all these "junk" comments. Several times Safari has had to load a popular page multiple times over because it couldn't handle 300+ comments.

At the rate these things build up, I don't see us having to archive popular pages more than once a year anyway. Besides, they would be pages floating around in the back-end of the wiki. Arguably that's 10 pages tops (rough estimate of likely "popular" pages, probably overestimating though), which hardly seems like a major inconvenience.
