Seconded. I'm a big fan of leaving comments in the article text for other
editors where relevant. And also, when deleting something contentious, it
can help to comment it out rather than just remove it.
It's worth trying, at least; in my experience that can work sometimes, but
other times it's still viewed as a deletion.
Jay.
