Hi,
There's already a missing attribute that is returned by the API when the
page doesn't exist (whether it has never existed or has been deleted).
That seems to be the correct information to rely on.
Example :

Regarding the suggestion to return the pageid of
deleted pages: I don't
mind if this is implemented somehow, but there needs to be something that
changes if the page has actually been deleted. It would be easy enough for
me to change, but the current behavior, where the pageid isn't returned, is
a behavior that I currently rely on. Something needs to say that, despite
the fact that the pageid is being return, the page itself is in a deleted
state.

Nolan
