Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Disable Delete Post or Page version 3.0 as active, updated 7y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.9.
Overview
About this plugin
When handing over a WordPress installation to the end-client, there are always certain pages that you may not want them to delete. It could be pages with custom templates, pages with HTML in the WYSWIG editor or for some reason a page that is hooked in and is not dynamic.
Whatever the reason is the Disable Delete Post or Page Link Plugin removes the ability to delete a post if its option has been previously set. The "Delete" links are removed from the following areas:
When viewing the list of All Posts or All Pages.
When editing a post in the Publish meta box.
Important notes
This plugin does not add anything to your current theme.
It will stop users from deleting posts, pages or other custom posts types if the option has been set.
The wp_trash_post() or wp_post_delete() functions are not affected and when used posts can and will be deleted.
The screen options panel is required to use the disable functionality. See https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/getting-to-know-wordpress/screen-options/.
How to
When using this "Disable delete posts or pages" plugin you can hide/remove the delete links and delete functionality from the areas shown above. Each post, page or custom post needs to be edited and its option set. To do this follow these steps:
When editing the post click on "Screen Options" in the upper right-hand corner.
After the "Screen Options" panel has opened look for the label "Remove the ability to delete this post". Then check the checkbox that says "Remove trash link".
