"Tombstone" page for removed data?

Hi there! Has anyone tried to leave a metadata page (basically a dataset "tombstone") in Enterprise (11.1) for a dataset that has been removed for one reason or another? The data wouldn't be there so anything with dependencies would indicate that it was not available, but a click through from a WebMap would have the metadata and a reason why the data was removed instead of a "Data can't be found" page.

An example of a data repository where this happens is Harvard's Dataverse, where data governance policy requires that data never disappears entirely (https://support.dataverse.harvard.edu/harvard-dataverse-preservation-policy). 

If anyone has done something like this or has ideas they would be most welcome!
