Perhaps Tombstones would be a better choice, where ether data is deleted, but a record of when and why is included instead?


Difference being here a tombstone doesn't contain enough information to recreate the record should it be necessary. Guess it's a tradeoff whether you want a graveyard you can use digital necromancy on, or simply an indicator why the data got yeeted.
