 From Jason's vague comment I guess he is questioning if pages should be
deleted at all. And I think this is an interesting approach, we could mark
a page as deleted as you suggested, and that's it.

Though there might be two issues: One might really want to delete a page
permanently, for example because it contains spam or offense. And we need a
way to handle the case when a new page with the same name gets created some
time later.
