A fair number of posts get deleted on Server Fault, for a wide variety of reasons and by a diverse set of methods.

Because these posts are, by definition, not visible and not searchable, there tends to be a lot of misinformation about how much gets deleted and who deletes it.

So, for the sake of discussion, let's have some numbers on what has been recently deleted, who deleted it, and why.

_{(I posted these numbers for Stack Overflow a while back, and tend to think it's helped in various discussions there. Hoping they're useful here as well...)}
