Solutions take the form of "complicate the flowchart". Add preliminary 
steps before any deletion, review steps after deletions, and so on. The 
problem is ... many people active on the site don't have too clear a 
view of what the current "flowchart" is - or in other words current best 
practice isn't always followed, and therefore tweaking it doesn't have 
as much traction as it should. But I do recommend trying to get the 
overview of what the processes look like, certainly over reading the 
fine print in [[WP:N]].
