Apart from the visible down-votes to a particular question considered as off-topic or irrelevant, how to know that it is **flagged** for deletion with `x` number of flags. Same thing for **answers** too. I have the idea that it is only shown to Mods for deletion, since they are going to delete it or reconsider it. **P.S**: If the only function of flagging is to ping mods for attention for action on it, then I guess, even this question needs to be deleted. Please comment so.
