What if the person doesn't check the page? Why not just contact the author instead of a boilerplate thing on the article, which, IMO, is just as bad a defacement.
What? If the page is listable on VfD then at least somebody thinks it has serious issues. Therefore a notice that the page is being considered for deletion is valuable information for the reader of the page.
Deleting a page really isn't as bad as sending someone to prison.
Where oh where did I mention prison?
And no one's arguing that we should make any deletion records private.
? And where did I say that they were? I specifically mentioned that VfD is a publicly viewable page and compared it with publically viewable court documents.
