I don't think something that is being increased by like 150-300pp for an item that's several hundred pp as is should be considered artificial price gouging if it's at least a few different people selling at that.
The whole editing the auction log based on someone's arbitrary viewpoint that a figure is higher than they think it should be is just as bad as someone artificially inflating prices. If people are willing to pay a price then that's supply and demand in action. I don't think prices should be removed unless they are absolutely egregious and blatantly obvious attempts at price manipulation (for example, someone selling something for 850-900pp that someone else is selling for 650pp is not egregious; someone selling something for 1,600pp that most people are selling for 650pp is egregious).
Edit: Loramin, would welcome your knowledge as to what's been happening with the Wiki logs, if anything.

All I can say is "it wasn't me". It's possible another wiki admin did it, but honestly I don't think most (if any) other than me are very active.
The full list of people who could have.
If they did, they surely did so on purpose (you can't accidentally remove entries in one click), so it seems either A) there was just some confusion, B) an admin intentionally (and therefore likely correctly) removed some entries ... or very unlikely option C) an admin removed entries incorrectly.
I don't think there's any kind of log of deletions (that would have made even more work for Ravhin, and "bad" wiki admins could do much worse things that remove price entries, so he probably figured it wasn't needed), but if anyone does ever notice a suspicious pattern of removals, I'd ask that they PM me privately so we can try work out a way to test the theory.
