The port pages were kept on purpose (to let users find deleted ports easily
and potentially resurrect them instead of having to reinvent the wheel, for
historic / arcival reasons, ...), with the intention to clearly mark that
they have been deleted and they should not appear in searches within the
site unless explicitly requested.

Maybe the feedback should look different? Or do you have some other
suggestion?
