I would prefer to have an analysis of the difference between what has
been migrated already
https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/bsps/index.html versus
what is in the wiki. If some content needs to move out of the wiki,
then a patch to add it to the docs would be good, then we could
discuss on the list whether or not to move that content or to delete
it.  If content has been migrated or the migration discussion leads to
a decision to delete, then we should remove that page. Removing a page
requires an admin privilege, so I think a list of pages to be removed
should be maintained somewhere like
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/TBR/BSP

Introduction text on top page is likely useful to merge. Then remaining BSPs which are in the tree and have pages need the content reviewed and merged into users guide.
