I just received [this audit](https://stackoverflow.com/review/low-quality-posts/18798465) in the Low quality posts:

I noticed that *it looked like an audit*, so I double-checked the question and saw that the answer was already deleted. So yes, that's an audit, easy peasy, I passed it.

However, if that wasn't an audit but an actual review, I would have chosen the `Looks OK` option. It may not be a great answer, but it's still an attempt to solve the issue asked... that's what downvotes are for; not deletion. Am I right, or **did I overlook something?**

The answer had -3 score, somebody probably flagged it as Not an answer... and the author decided to remove it due to the -3 (which probably auto-accepted the NAA flags?). Still... I don't think that's an answer which merits deletion - unless the author decides so. **Posts removed by their own author shouldn't be used as audits**. It's not like we don't have any other deleted garbage to show in the audits...

I am aware of [this almost exact question](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/345316/posts-deleted-by-owner-shouldnt-show-up-in-low-quality-posts-review-audits), however, in that case, the answer had a SPAM flag too... which I don't think is the case here (the answer doesn't even include any links). But anyway, I wouldn't have chosen that post for a review, either.
