Maybe it shouldn't but the practice of attributers deleting listings irritates me. I wish they would retain the listings and qualify them with a cross reference to each other or a statement it has been debunked as a variety. Once the listing is deleted there could be hundreds of certified coins referencing an invalid variety. Once an attributer re-assigns this number to a newly discovered variety these coins will be referencing the wrong variety altogether. I guess it is the accountant in me. I void a check it is retained in my records as a voided check. And I certainly do not recycle that voided check number and assign it to a different check written at a future date. I have complained about this practice before and probably will again.

In my opinion there should be a unique identifier for each coin variety. Call it UVI for Unique Variety Identifier or UDI for Unique Die Identifier. Each variety is assigned one. Say coin A has UVI of 2345 and coin B has UVI of 3333. The listing for coin B is added to coin A as it was a duplicate. Now coin A has both 2345 and 3333 as UVI. Now anyone who attributed the coin as 3333 knows it is actually variety A. It would also work for deleted listings because you could simply say "Hey my coin is not this variety anymore because the UVI is different. It is not another variety either for the year. I guess it is delisted."
I think CONECA has something of a unique identifier but I believe it follows the CONECA number and not the coin itself.

You certainly are entitled to your opinion. You state that it is a practice by the attributors, but this is a far smaller problem than you seem to think it is. You wanting statements for removed dies is indeed being done by some attributors already. I point you to a couple of dies on coppercoins where the die number still resides although the variety/anomaly has been debunked.

1960D-1MM-167 ended up being a duplicate but the number still remains.
There are many other instances of dies being removed for some reason or another.
I wish they would retain the listings and qualify them with a cross reference to each other or a statement it has been debunked as a variety.
This is what happens when you have different variety systems. Cross referencing is NOT required but is supplied as a courtesy by Wexler and Coppercoins. VV doesn't supply cross references at all. Each variety system is owned individually, therefore, the rules are made up by the owners.
Maintaining a file system can be difficult. Leaving erroneous information in the database is also an issue. Some times, it is easier to replace a variety rather than leaving a hole there. There are also problems that can arise when you perform searches.
I am afraid I have little to say about the possibility of slabs being out there with what might be incorrect information. That is a TPG and individual concern. Should I have to delete a listing in my files because it is incorrect, I will do that. Remember that even putting a statement in the files won't change that slab info. What is the possibility that a slab will be out there with a wrong variety number because the variety was changed? If there are, the numbers would be small and I don't know what, if anything, can be done to help that. There are plenty out there that list debunked numbers (such as the 1980 D/S) but at the time, that info was correct. There is nothing the attributors can do about that. Remember that you should always buy the coin, not the slab anyway. You may end up having to re-slab with a new listing if you run into one of these scenarios.
I can see how the accountant in you makes you irritated with this. However, please understand that our work on the sites encompasses thousands and thousands of hours and normally this is done without any cost to you. We will always try to put out a good product but there are always the unforeseen circumstances that can come up. I hate to see you irritated but I don't think you are being fair. I understand it is how you feel, and may not reflect the feeling of others. I also know from being on this end of it that there is not much we can do about it.

Farmer,
Remember that every variety and every variety within a date has certain characteristics that make the coin(s) easy or very hard to identify. If all the attributers only listed coins with 2-3 pick up points (Location the variety is seen) it would be much easier to identify.
The problem we have is there are many coins within a date group that look pretty much the same. I.E. type or rotation / split serif / tilted that make these coins very hard to identify correctly. Let alone the die state of the coin and how the appearance changes through a die's life. There are Many many RPM's that follow this category and some double eye's and minor separations of IGWT to name a few.
You can collect what you want - pick an area and stick with it. If you collect the coins that are tough to I.D. then you mush be willing to accept a change of view on the coin. That all depends on the # of examples seen and weather the characteristics change.
Dan,
Keep up the good work. I can think of only a few people who would have taken up the challenge!!!

I accept that opinions on varieties will change, variety collecting is a dynamic niche. I am just of the opinion once a variety reference is cataloged and added to a reference that listing should remain part of of reference. If in the future it discovered to be a bad listing or duplicate listing - the listing should be qualified as such and retained as part of the listing. I am of the opinion this would make the reference stronger. A coin attributed and cataloged in an individuals collection to the listing WRPM-??? today will 10 years from now reference back to the most current information for that listing. Whether it has been subsequently du-bunked, discovered to be a duplicate listing for another variety, etc - is the information a collector would find in the reference for the variety at that time.
In my opinion the fact that a variety has been de-bunked, is a duplicate, etc is important information for collectors. Embrace it, recognize it and preserve it for future reference instead of removing all reference to it.
All I am providing is my opinion and why I hold this point of view. It certainly is not intended as a condemnation of anyone's work.

No one is condemning you for your opinion. Quite the opposite really. I gave you direct links to where what you suggest is actually being done, at least on one site. As I stated previously, each site is independently owned and the decision to do anything with their system is the owners call. I personally thank you for your input but as I stated earlier as well, there is not a lot that can be done at this point.
