I'm not sure which articles you are referring to, but generically speaking deleting a blog post is not best practice. Google still directs people to it for weeks and there are likely other internal links that go bad when you delete a post. Plus you lose the DA juice from any backlinks to that specific url in your domain. Best practice is to update old content or a 301 redirect to related/updated content.
I suspect he's not deleting posts, but rather hiding or 'unpublishing' them. Maybe to work on updating them? Or to shelve them until he has time to?
We could ask him, but he doesn't post on FlyerTalk anymore (although he does read this thread).
