I have seen some users referring to deleted questions. So, a deleted question is still visible to some users.

Why is it so? Is it a bug or a privilege?

It is a privilege. Users with at least 10k rep are allowed to view deleted questions (as long as they have a URL to the question).

From the privilege description page:

Viewing deleted posts


Use this privilege wisely:


  • Watch for signs of abuse being obscured by deletion.


Users with any amount of reputation can also see their own deleted posts; recently deleted posts are listed for convenience in one's profile. –  Josh Caswell Jul 17 at 5:36
