If a spammer is deleted by somebody else while you are looking at the review queue, you cannot tell. Trying to delete them subsequently gives a confusing error message, and the user is still apparently in the queue.
The sequence was approximately:
spammers gonna spam
spammer is flagged and put in the queue
I opened the queue page
somebody else deleted the spammer
I hit the button to delete the spammer
the error message is displayed
but the spammer still appears on the page
open a bug on Meta
This bug – Error on Delete User in pending-approvals list – seems similar.

Just ran into this myself. A better error message would be nice.

The error message is now improved in the PR

Currently, when the target is not available we're returning the error message "`… You are not permitted to view the requested resource`" which is not clear.
