So a rewrite with good pointers would be more appropriate.
Even then, it's better off in the Wiki until the rewrite is complete.
Perhaps replacing it with a placeholder page that refers to the Wiki would be appropriate? A simple summary saying that the HOWTO had not aged well, and hence had been removed from the official documentation until it had been updated on the Wiki would allow people looking for it to better understand the situation, and also how to help improve it.
+1 on removal. +0.8 on the pointer with a disclaimer (please also add the disclaimer at the top of the socket howto as well). there's a lot of editorial misinformation in that page even if some parts of it are useful for the socket unaware... -gps
