Yes, as would making it an immediate redirect to another page, either
via server directives or via an http-refresh tag. In <head>, for
example, you could say:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=purple.html">
I think the point is that one simply needs to remember never to delete
pages, but, rather, to make the url's go somewhere reasonable and not
404.
