This isnt a complaint, more like a request. I often get here from off-site links, to specific stories, only to find them gone. The messages say to check the move and deletion log for the reasons why, but almost always only has a vague "housekeeping" or the like for the reason.

I don't at all doubt the legitimacy of these reasons. But they are confusing, and it tends to be difficult at best to find out why it happened. Id like to see a link on such pages, to explain exactly what things like 'housekeeping' mean. This information is hard to find on the site itself.

I think it would just be easier on new people, those directed here from offsite.

Also, I hope this was in the right place. There were many places I thought to post this, but chose the safest looking.
