Note: this is not a request to hide deleted answers (which has been requested in the past).
The answer count under a question currently has code that tracks which answers are deleted and which answers are not. I know this because when you have less than 10,000 reputation on a site, you cannot see deleted answers, and the answer count is equal to the number of undeleted answers. Meanwhile, for users with at least 10,000 reputation, deleted answers are visible, and the answer count is equal to the total number of answers, regardless of their deletion status. There are other indicators as well1.
This request is to simply display both numbers in some fashion for 10k users. I know there are probably user scripts or Stack Apps that do this, but I would like to see it added to the site natively.
Being able to see deleted answers is good for users with moderation tools, but it's rather annoying to click on an additional answer page only to find that the entire page is deleted answers, among other issues.
As an example of what this could look like, this Stack Overflow question currently has 60 answers, 18 of which are deleted. One (probably the best) implementation of this request would change this:
To this:
Or, alternatively, to something like this:
I think I prefer the first option due to its brevity.
1: (Even for 10k+ users, the undeleted answer count is what is shown on the /questions page):
42 answers (of which 18 deleted)
or42 visible answers, 18 deleted
