But also apart from that. The discussion is if a standard should facilitate
an inactive patient (logical deleted) to still remain in the active
clinical information system with a special flag or that he should be
transferred to an archive system. This is the question which is important
to decide if a standard should define a "deleted" flag.

I think such a flag is a technical flag to organize some way of archiving
data. It has no additional semantic meaning and should not belong in a
standard defining semantic structures.
