The two forms you describe are quite irrelevant and just muddy the water.
One form of content *will* get deleted, the other form *may* get deleted.
Trying to convert *may* into *will* doesn't help the hapless contributor
who just wants to edit something today.

Does anyone have a plan?

I'd suggest something like:
Step 1.  Identify what is safe content that can definitely be built up.
Step 2.  Prevent innocent contributors from touching content that is not
safe.
Is it any more complex than that?
