Character Based Unlocks
Hmmm. I don’t think there is a whole lot. Used to be WvW ranks but not anymore. If you had access to a vender from the personal story, such as the Vigil vender for Vigil armor and weapons and don’t have another character with that, you lose it. Any crafting progress you have on that character. Skill points. Map completion. Stuff like that.

As Astral Projections says, I believe that’s just referring to skill points, map completion, unlocked traits, crafting, etc. Generally, it’s not stuff to worry about, especially now that WvW ranks and armor dyes are account-based. Most character-based unlocks are repeatable on new characters.
The main things I’d be careful about losing by deleting a character would be any rare or unusual items they have (obviously, move to another character if not soulbound,) and possibly rare crafting recipes, like Recipe: Gift of Blades, which was only sold as part of the Living World and may not become available again.

As someone who has totally deleaded to change servers for free in the past. Anything in your personal bank is perserved, that’s it. Unlocks such as world completion, crafting, etc are reset since it’s a new character in a new world.
Oh oh does anyone know if deleting a character causes you to lose race based personal story achievements?

No, you keep all your achievement points, if that’s what you are asking. However if you didn’t finish the story and make another of the same race you will have to start at the beginning of the personal story and work your way to where you stopped before you get more achievements.
Also if you bought any extra bag slots you’ll lose them. Even if you create another character in the same slot they won’t have the extra bags.

This. This is probably what they refer too by unlocks. Obviously the map % if you are a explorer is troublesome as well, personally i just didn’t delete a Necro i did because he had 60%ish map completed, so if i ever change my mind it will be way easier to get him to 100%.
You can also expand your number of slots to create characters (from the gem store) in case you end up needing it.

Would you lose say Shiverpeaks Explorer if the deleted character contributed an area of the maps that no other character had like Tribulation Caverns?

Once you get achievement points you don’t lose them if you delete a character. Achievements are account wide.
