See Ireland Information Guide:Deletion process for the preferred process for storing deletion debates.
For discussions that have not been well archived, the page history of the VfD page has to be used as a contingency archive. One can look in the Deletion log to obtain date and time of a deletion. One can look in the page history of VfD near that time to see which edit regards the unlisting of the page, then view the previous version. This is why it is always important to give a good edit summary when editing the VfD page, especially when unlisting a page.
If you find any other pages which contained detailed debates on whether or not to delete an article, please link them here.
Normally, when deleting a page also delete the talk page. However, if the discussion on either the talk page might be useful to you or someone else, keep it (and list it here). The same applies to generic deletion discussion on the village pump, for example, that's worth preserving. Use your judgement. Where there is a good deal of deletion-related talk, and also a good deal of talk unrelated to deletion, consider seperating the deletion-related talk on a separate page such as [[NAME OF ARTICLE/deletion]].
