>From [[User:Fl/Reports/RevDelete#Large_page_deletion_logs]]:
When a page is previously deleted, the page deletion log is displayed on the
"this page does not exist" page. Because hiding revisions exists in the
deletion logs, they are all displayed also. This is unhelpful to the user, who
would be primarily using that box to find out why the whole page has been
deleted, as that is the only time that box appears. Instead, they can be
confronted by a multitude of confusing log entries that don't (and can't) apply
to them.

Recommendations: Filter the deletion log displayed on that page, or move
RevDelete entries to a different/new log.
