I think there should at most only be the lastest data be available for
deleted objects or none at all. There are fields like descr or remarks
that can contain information that should no longer be present in the
database after the object is deleted.

In general I'm for removing information from a public database after
it is supposed to be deleted. I'm not sure who is using information
for deleted objects for anything, I at least never have.

If there is a valid request for data on deleted objects it could
always be handled by the NCC.

Best Regards

Sebastian
