Why do deleted questions remain up?

On Religion/Spirituality they continue to show questions which have been deleted yet ask us to answer them. Why don't they just remove them completely instead of wasting the rest of our time?

Because the Yahoo! Answers Team is full of morons. Hence the frequent mistakes and hiccups on this site.

I have been wondering that myself. They were fast enough to jump on me over a question I answered on Genealogy, and delete my answer, but question never seem to be deleted, or if they are you have to click on them first. I agree dumb and a waste of time.

Glitches.

There was that awful time earlier this year when all you could see were old questions, 90% of which had been deleted or answered.

They've changed that recently on the Politics section. It's probably coming to this section soon, if it hasn't already.

Because the report monkeys have fallen asleep on the job.
