I've asked this a couple places around Wikipedia (including Kelly Martin's page) but haven't gotten a reply, so I'm going to try again here.
I'm currently preparing an RfC (or RfAr) regarding a long series of personal attacks that are being genereated against me by User DreamGuy. One of the attacks (the first one, actually) is at [[Talk:Eenasul_Fateh]], a temporary page that was made to hold information during an AfD discussion.
One user tried to remove DreamGuy's attacks, but DreamGuy just went right back in and restored them.
Anyway, I have the opportunity to speedy-delete the page as no longer needed. However, if I delete it, does that mean that I can no longer refer to the personal attack on that page as part of the RfC? Do I have to keep it around for evidence? Or can I go ahead and get rid of it?
Or should I blank it "in preparation for deletion", but hold onto it so that the diffs will work?
Thanks,
