This is internal wiki project and I don't think that require closure discussion.

Angela is Chair of AB (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Advisory_Board).

This task was not completed; the wiki was closed, and (as Angela stated) pages were exported to Meta (and perhaps other wikis), but (at least some?) source pages were not deleted, no note was made about the new address, etc. What is the best way to handle this? It seems to me the best approach would be to reopen the wiki, create soft redirects for every page, and re-close it. See, for instance: https://advisory.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meeting_August_2007/Notes and https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?diff=104869
