Background info
The comment "what have you tried" has been banned on the SE network, and it's removable by a single flag.
Motivation
The Marshal badge is awarded to users who have raised 500 helpful flags. Flags that trigger automatic removal of a WHYT-comment count immediately towards the total number of helpful flags.
Question
If a WHYT-comment is found in a deleted post, can one still flag it?
