--- Comment #4 from Markus Krötzsch <[email protected]> ---
Some further clarification. This problem really has two distinct aspects. The
first is described above: a page that is used as a value must "exist" as an SMW
object, even if it has no wiki page. The second aspect is that SMW does not
have any effective cleanup functionality to remove objects that were needed
once but are no longer needed now. This means that page objects will still
"exist" after removing all properties that point to them, and deleting their
wikipage.

In a sense, these could need two distinct solutions, but they are still closely
related. Basically, page objects of the first type can only be filtered out if
there is some additional check in the query that makes sure the page exists.
Page objects of the second type could also be removed from the database
entirely, since they are not needed by SMW any more. However, I suppose that
most users are more interested in a solution for the first case (which would
also solve the second case; but not the other way around).
