Problem in the Yiddish Wikipedia

I am very sad that I have to report this, but Node is deleting stub articles
in the Yiddish wikipedia. This happens to be a language that I can read, so I
know what the text says. Yes, they are stubbish, but they are the beginnings
of articles, and at least there is some activity. I do not know why Node has
decided to delete those articles, as there is no explanation. It doesnt matter
if it is a stub about Reb Elimelech of Lizensk or Brittaney Spears (both of
which he deleted by the way).

To Node, I am asking you to stop dealing with languages you do not know. Let
the smaller language Wikipedias grow naturally, without interference from
non-speakers.

That is strange considering that a while back Node thought it useful
to create some sub-stub articles with the wrong grammar and language
on sq (e.g.: http://sq.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Shqip%C3%ABria
which in English would be "Albania is place")
