Content is king.
If the content is relevant, then keep it.
Rather than deleting content form your site, deprecate it, and post a
nice little message at the top to indicate to real people that the
content may be out of date or no longer relevant.
This will allow Google to index and list your site, as well as offer
information for people that may have bookmarked the page in question.
Of course a simple "This content requested no longer exists" message
could work too, but you dont get indexed for the content that used to
be there.
This can be done by checking the existance of an ID, and if that ID
doesnt exist, or you cannot load the data, redirect the user to a page
like /myapp/contentExpired
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Predom
