You could do any of the above for now, since deletion is reversible. Obviously the diffs need to be visible to get comments on them, so it will have to be undeleted while the RfC is running. I'd recommend blanking it and putting up a short (neutral) note on why the page should be kept for the time being.

I've asked this a couple places around Wikipedia (including Kelly Martin's page) but haven't gotten a reply, so I'm going to try again here.

I'm currently preparing an RfC (or RfAr) regarding a long series of personal attacks that are being genereated against me by User DreamGuy. One of the attacks (the first one, actually) is at [[Talk:Eenasul_Fateh]], a temporary page that was made to hold information during an AfD discussion.

One user tried to remove DreamGuy's attacks, but DreamGuy just went right back in and restored them.

Anyway, I have the opportunity to speedy-delete the page as no longer needed. However, if I delete it, does that mean that I can no longer refer to the personal attack on that page as part of the RfC? Do I have to keep it around for evidence? Or can I go ahead and get rid of it?

Or should I blank it "in preparation for deletion", but hold onto it so that the diffs will work?

Thanks,
