Confusing successful message when no page has been selected for deletion

    Description

      Steps:

      • Go to Sandbox.TestPage2
      • From the menu, choose the 'Delete' action
      • Follow the steps and press the 2 'Delete' buttons
        The final message says "The page has been deleted" using a success state, while the page has not been deleted.

      I might say I understand that the user doesn't selected any page to delete, so it's normal that the page still exist. My problem is with the "success" state of the message.

      The user's intention was clearly to delete the page and the message say it's successful, so the expectation is that the page is deleted.
      Ideal we should have good defaults and help the user with default values, so he can execute the operation as fast as possible.

      I understand that the delete action is problematic and the user should be careful with it, still I would insist in displaying a final message with warning or neutral state and the message "No page has been deleted", instead of the current status message.
