For a tad more privacy, but something that remain available should anyone need it, what about putting in on a subpage, deleting the subpage, and then putting an "admins only" link (ie, any admin can access it, so the permission stays with the project even if you leave, but it is not openly available to the public.
That's a nice idea, but might not work long term since the deleted page archive is sometimes cleared out.
How about just copying the permission emails to the info-en at wikimedia.org address? That way it will be permanently archived and only viewable by people trusted to keep mails confidential (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/PR_department). The non-confidential parts should still be kept on the talk page though so everyone can see why the article was not deleted.
