It's a problem from a management point of view.
I think a plug-in could be written to mark a link as "deleted" so that the admin could then decide what to do with it, but the link would be treated as "unvalidated" for building and stats purposes.
Probably not too difficult, as it would be just a matter of flagging the database record as "deleted", and adding the option to manage deleted links.
