I have seen some users referring to deleted questions. So, a
deleted question is still visible to some users.  Why is it so?
Is it a bug or a privilege?   1 Answer 1  up vote 11 down vote
accepted  It is a privilege. Users with at least 10k rep are
allowed to view deleted questions (as long as they have a URL to
the question).  From the privilege description page:  Viewing
deleted posts   Use this privilege wisely:     • Watch for signs
of abuse being obscured by deletion.   Users with any amount of
reputation can also see their own deleted posts; recently
deleted posts are listed for convenience in one's profile. –
