As a project that was founded on and thrives on cooperation, the last

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.

Legal reasons are not the whole of our ethical obligations to the world.
