I don't see much importance in how you construe what a deletion is, but deletion does not have to equal death. In fact, if someone rage deletes, they don't die, I believe the echo is they go into hiding. So I believe you can construe a deletion however you want. Since most any character is not going to have a lasting presence in CF, it does not really matter. If truly memorable characters became mobs or something (which I believe used to happen, like say Tahren), maybe then there would be importance in how things were construed.
I did the very thing you said with one of my characters. I was an explorer char trying out some warrior combos I wanted to, got bored so ate some grapes, became a woman (which was my best received role additions to date imm xp wise), explored a little more and then was pretty much done with the char. I spoke with some fortress guy at the Inn, told them I was going back home to my village, which when I went looking for a spot to delete I actually found the exact spot my role described without me having ever known about it before hand.
I actually got a really nice echo from Rayihn as I walked there, which oddly enough is the only sort of death echo I have ever gotten with any of my characters, and it was for a pending deletion. I then did a few emotes and deleted.
Would have been amazing if my char became a guard mob sitting there, but I don't think the Imms are inclined to do those things except in the rarest of circumstances. Turns out having your char name become a part of CF is really damn hard.
If I had it in me to Imm, I think that would be one thing I would try and do more of. Give those truly great memorable characters a spot somewhere in Thera. Hopefully that sort of thing would inspire some great RP from our players and maybe get people playing a bit more to try and get that done.
