As a project that was founded on and thrives on cooperation, the last thing we need is an increase in the perceived elitism of admins.
If there are potential legal reasons to keep "hidden" the revision history of certain deleted articles while the deletion is under review, revealed only to a small group, then let's make it clear that it is for legal reasons.
