Add a "delete" command in addition to the "withdraw" command
Currently, when a staff deletes an item record, the person can only use the "withdraw" command, even if the person is deleting an item record created by mistake. Adding an additional Delete command will distinguish the two purposes. We can then pull out WITHDRAW statistics in Design Analytics for the true withdrawn items, and not including the number of item records deleted for purposes of cleaning up data.

We would also like to have this option. Records created in error currently show up as withdrawn items in our statistics even though they are not really withdrawn items.

This is needed for ALL types of records--items, holdings, and bibs. Reporting out withdrawn items in Analytics is worthless to us because it includes items or holdings or bibs that we deleted (because they were added by mistake) rather than withdrawn from the collection.
