    Does the page redirected to have a slug that’s similar to the removed page? WP will try to find a similar match if there’s not an exact match. If there’s not even anything similar, then it should 404.

    A 404 response can be forced for specific requests even if there were a match through the “pre_get_posts” action hook by calling the set_404() method of the passed query object.

    If deleted pages have been indexed by search engines, it’s usually better to 301 redirect to a related page than go 404.
