I'd say so; yes. A method of deleting pages via the web would be great; I
can't think of a use of keeping blank pages around. What about vandalism --
if someone blanks a page and deletes it and someone else wishes to restore
-it; or is undoing edits via the web a bigger issue? -- [[JonDowland]]

Of course there's already a way to delete pages (remove plugin). So the
question is really:
I don't think we need a second way to delete pages, which would probably be
used by the only few people who will learn it's possible by random
documentation reading, find it useful, *and* remember it. -- [[intrigeri]]

+On the other hand, clearing the page's whole content essentially means deleting
+the page. That's what the user intended to do in this case. The information
+content of an empty vs. a deleted page is essentially the same, I'd say. But
+having ikiwiki remove those stale pages would save some (minimal, admittedly)
+time needed for manual clean-up. --[[tschwinge]]

+On EmacsWiki, a page is marked for deletion when it contains just the DeletedPage
+keyword and if there were no page editions since XX days. Here, I use pages that
+can be empty everyday and filled all day long. It does not make sense to me to
+delete these pages :). --[[xma]]
