If I understand https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Namespace 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Namespace> and 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces> 
correctly: create a new namespace (e.g. "Obsolete" or "Historical") with 
index in [3000, 5000) and index % 2 == 0 which is not in either
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault> 
or https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgContentNamespaces 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgContentNamespaces>

if you do not want to actually delete the pages.

I’m not sure if “Archived” should be in either.

Regarding other reorganization, 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages> might be a possibility.
