After: We've identified a fix for the issue affecting project and group deletions on GitLab.com. Due to routine DB maintenance there will be a delay for when the fix will land in production.

Before: not present
After: The fix is now in production and we're now working on processing the deletion queue via the deletion workers.

Delay of deletions and visibility of scheduled/queued deletions would be experienced until the queue is cleared.

Before: not present
After: All deletion queues have been processed for projects, we expect the same to continue for group deletions. This incident is moved to resolved. More information here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/work_items/22714
