Is it compliant with the GFDL to clean up an article through a temporary page?
Yes, but only if:
* in the case where only one person edits the temporary page, they are the person who applies the changes there to the main article, or
* in the case where multiple people edit the temporary page, the normal merge procedure is followed to apply the changes to the main article (this would involve *not* deleting the temporary page, but merging the contents and replacing it with a redirect).
Note that a soft redirect would usually be preferable to a hard redirect in the case of merged temporary pages.
