I have just reused the 3 to the 5 page for a variant idea to which the numbers 3 and 5 are still relevant, a changeover that I had been planning for some time, and while I hope that it will eventually appear under the new title the old one will not be that misleading in the meantime. There is, however, no obvious substitute for any of the other eight pages that I am currently interested in withdrawing. In any case, it is easier for someone remembering anoter member's post-your-own to find it if it has a page address based on the current title.

While planning the changeover I read on this thread that editors could mark a page as hidden, or even as deleted, even if pages really cannot be actually deleted. Now I am not asking for anyone to do this to any of my pages just yet, but am interested to know how easily it could be done to order. It does not appear possible to do this in "edit indexing", but were I to put in an update text along the lines of "variant withdrawn - editors please mark as deleted" could I rely on an editor to so mark them?

There is one variant with which I am especially inclined to do this as it will allow me to get rid of an otherwise unused entry in my Man and Beast piece articles. If I get the go-ahead I will take this approach.
