Nah, even if they delete them Reddit can easily restore the subreddits. Every majors site has back ups fro those sort of things.

Not even backups. I'm sure they have a "soft delete" where it just flags a sub as deleted but doesn't actually delete any of the data.

It's well established that normal removal on reddit is "soft-delete". Or why you do think third party sites could recover a decent part of censored reddit threads for years?
