Sep 17, 2016 at 18:51 comment added fedorqui 'SO stop harming' @Martin Oded just clarified it and it is the way you said! Thanks :)
Sep 17, 2016 at 17:15 comment added Martin @fedorqui I might have misunderstood the answer, but I thought that last part hour meant that notification will be received if the comment was posted less then an hour before the post was delete. It does not matter how soon the user will get to the site to read the notifications. In any case, the answer describes some situations when the notifications should work (assuming it is not outdated). So perhaps you can find some volunteer to test this on the site where you are a moderator (or on the associated meta).
Sep 17, 2016 at 17:10 comment added fedorqui 'SO stop harming' @Martin no problem :) This is very interesting. It is a pity though that the notification just lasts for one hour (in Spanish Language we have users entering once in a big while). Regarding the last part, I do not know if it effectively works: I recently wrote a comment in a deleted question in Meta and I did not see any input in the "responses" tag from that user (which is a tag moderators can see in a user profile). Maybe the user did get a notification, this I don't know.
Sep 17, 2016 at 17:04 comment added Martin And since you mention that you are asking since it is important to you as a moderator, the last part of that answer seems to be relevant, too: "Commenting on a deleted answer would indeed keep the notification, which is reasonable as only moderators can comment on deleted posts and users can see their own deleted posts." (Sorry for double ping, I only notice this additional detail now.)
Sep 17, 2016 at 17:01 comment added fedorqui 'SO stop harming' @Martin this is the exact answer I was looking for. Thanks a lot!
Sep 17, 2016 at 16:55 comment added Martin Answer to this question says that: "Only comment notifications to the OP left by the deleting moderator within that last hour will remain in the inbox."

Sep 17, 2016 at 16:33 comment added fedorqui 'SO stop harming' @Martin yes, I am aware of it. However, for a brand new user is quite unlikely that they know how to get there. That's why I rewrote my question to address the key topic (to me): does he still get the notifications about the comments left on the post?

Duplicate of How does deleting work? What can cause a post to be deleted, and what does that actually mean? What are the criteria for deletion?, Can non-10k users see comments left on their deleted content?
Sep 17, 2016 at 12:15 comment added Martin Quote from the faq linked in the first comment: Deleted posts that are no more than 60 days old (since the creation date) are listed under "recent deleted questions" or "recent deleted answers". So if the user is aware of this possibility, they might be able to find their deleted content. (Although they would have to actively search for it.)

Sep 17, 2016 at 9:31 comment added Cai Deletion is generally for posts that can't be salvaged, not as a temporary state to improve posts
