Google did not delete the articles. I found them just fine on duckduckgo.com

Reading the article reveals that "Google deletes over 3,000 articles of WheelsJoint from its search results".

Did you think Google might have deleted them from the internet? I'm somewhat struggling to understand.

From the headline alone, my initial assumption was that it was about a google-hosted website and the content was actually deleted. Then I read the article…

For vast amounts of people (probably well over majority, but who knows), if it doesn't show up in a Google search, it might as well have been deleted from the internet. Hell, try running a business that doesn't show up in a Google search result. You might as well not exist.

EDIT: Also, keep in mind that many sites now use Google as their search tool. So going to the domain and searching for an article in their website that you've seen in the past wouldn't even work.

This suggests 1.0 average pages per visit.

I'll admit my first thought, based on the wording, was that the articles were posted on a google service such as google docs.

Without further context than the title provided, it could mean that they deleted the articles from another Google property, not search results.

Not sure what that property would be. Blogger perhaps if that is still a thing?

Deleted from their search results.

Ok, we've changed 'deletes' to 'de-indexes' in the title above. Thanks!
