Page creation fails because there is a deleted document with the same slug:

https://developer.mozilla.org/admin/wiki/document/?q=-webkit-box-orient&deleted__exact=1

What is the policy for this case? (see also bug 1283933 that has a similar issue)

Strangely, there was no 'page deleted' indication when access the URL (it showed the page creation).

In this specific case, we don't want the old document (whatever it was, and I guess that it was deleted because it was spam or a sandbox-like edit).

I purged it and was able to create the redirect I wanted. Thank you!
