Did the community delete a bunch of old questions?

Question

I was just curious about my stats and realized that some 25% of my accepted answers are not there anymore, while my reputation did not change.

So my (simple) question is:

Has there been a major Cleanup in the last few days?

And as a (quite obvious) followup, the reputation awarded for an answer that is later deleted sticks to the user forever, or am I wrong here?

No, there was no major clean-up. Of your five deleted answers …

two were deleted by yourself (this and this),
one was deleted when the asker deleted the question, and
two were deleted by me. This was really just a comment, and this was a bare link to the duplicate.

Okay, no Problem, just wanted to be sure about it. The reputation of deleted Stuff sticks, right?

No, it doesn’t. When a post with +3 is deleted you lose 30 points. That’s why you should not answer poor question: we clean those up from time, and it hurts more to lose something. :)
