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.

We seem to not be understanding eachother at all. I thought we were concerned about the author, not the reader. And I'm not arguing against VfD.
