Again. Throwing this out there. I think that formatting issues like this:

 A year before he died, my Grandfather told me a story. He was, in the way that old soldiers often are, a no-nonsense, upright man of few words. It was the morning following my twentieth birthday, and he telephoned me at nine-thirty, on the dot, requesting my presence at his house on the outskirts of Salcombe – approximately half an hour's drive. I arrived, nursing a hangover from the previous night and he offered me a cigarette. When I hesitated, he just laughed and told me that he knew I smoked, and that he would not tell my father. We sat together on his porch and smoked in silence, watching the waves crash against the Devonshire coast. Eventually he stubbed-out the butt of his Silk Cut and produced a shoe box, which he handed to me.

should be omitted from articles. Because Callie deleted that article, and I appealed it because I thought that the article was deleted unjustly. After I appealed it in the deletion appeal, it got accepted by Mystreve. The only thing that I had to do was to remove the formatting from the article. Because you may never know if we have the next Psychosis or Ted the Caver. Because a new user, or a user who doesn't have a clue on how to find Source Mode, pastes it in visual mode, then the admins/VCROC's deleting that stuff because it breaks the regular wiki source, while it looks like this in source mode (Example A):

Where it can be easily omitted by copying the original text and doing a little bit more work, if in source mode the paragraphs don't appear right away.

The only thing that I can come up with where the rule can apply if the text is like this (Example B):

 [  INTRO STAGE  ] 

Your name is Erin Flint. You’ve had your fair share of mistakes; like everyone else. After all, you’re a murderer. And it seems you’ve gotten yourself into a bit of a mishap.

Your name is Erin Flint.

It was in the vicinity of two thirty-three in the morning- on the beginning of January fifth, two thousand thirteen. The time was set at a slow pace; a senseless tread of the second hand on a classic clock- but that was what was to be suspected of Elvin City. Advancing down the desolate ruins of a street that sustained the name Caliber- just as Elvin still overruled it’s own capability of even being a city with a massive, almost intolerable pride, despite it’s small, unimportant role of position in the northwestern United States- was you.

It's a clusterfuck in source mode and visual mode. You can't copy it, because you don't know where it's going to stop or end. If you go into source mode, it'll appear like this:

It's a clusterfuck of formatting. I wouldn't even remove this, even if you paid me 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars to remove it.

TL;DR Admins and VCROC should put a little bit more work in formatting like Example A, rather than straight up delete it (because it's easily readable, and easy to remove [if copying and pasting it doesn't give paragraphs, do some more work. Separate the end sentences of each paragraph, and look back at the original version for look-outs on where the first paragraph ends, and where the second paragraph starts, because that's how each admin/VCROC got into their jobs is doing work, and not spotting minor grammatical errors]). While Example B should be deleted right away. Because it's a clusterfuck.
