That's only partly true, Mrodd. When a page actually has some story on it, then we do notify the author as a matter of policy. If, on the other hand, a story page is a year (or, sometimes just several months) old and has nothing except a character roster and premise statement, for example, then those pages can normally be deleted "on sight" and don't require notification if the page creator is no longer active. (If the creator is currently active, then they still get a notice.)

Old, unused image files can also be deleted without notification even for currently active users. The reasoning in that case is that if nothing links to the image file, then nobody's going to see it or care about it anyway.
