I don't think there can be a debate about it really. If deleted edits are publically viewable, then personal information, libelous claims, and copyright violations would be stored forever, for all to see. That's exactly the opposite of what we use deletion for.
Very true. The only case where deleted information could be made publicly available would be AfD for NN etc.
Anybody with sysop privs can see a person's deleted edits by looking at deleted pages known to have been edited by that user. Assuming that the current policy of admins being allowed to see deleted edits is one we want to keep, then what's wrong with allowing admins to see a user's deleted contribs through the Contributions page rather than the Undelete edits page?
