Here's the deal: What you suggest for Point C requires a lot more effort than simply deleting them, especially considering the magnitude of stub articles that are on the wiki right now. The admin team is fully willing to give a user their old content to put on a user subpage, but in exchange, that user has to make the extra effort to actually contact us. No sense wasting on our time and effort to create user subpages for a user who is long gone and never going to come back to the wiki (as is the case for many owners of stub articles).
