Why are deleted questions allowed to remain in the system?
It is very annoying to click on a question and then see that it was deleted. I understand why they are deleted but could there be a way to flag the question so that we could skip over it.

Deleted questions do not remain. Yahoo uses multiple servers and the deletion of a question probably has a low priority on server updates so it can take a few minutes.

the other guy is completely wrong I did a search for some key words the other day and a good 75% of the results were deleted as much as 3 years ago, I emailed yahoo customer services and have had no reply , clearly the questions have been deleted but if you search for them their references are still on the system
