Hello team - the <https://datahubproject.io/docs/generated/ingestion/sources/tableau|docs for the tableau integration> say that `Detect Deleted Entities` is currently not supported. What does this mean in practice?

My reading of the docs makes me think they just persist past deletion, and are never removed. If that is the case has anyone done any design work to allow removal of stale records post deletion? I'd be happy to help contribute if not.

AFAIK your understanding is correct I.e we don’t remove stale entities for tableau. Would love a contribution from you 

Thanks <@U01C3DMG2GL>. <@U02G4B6ADL6> - any views on how this *might* be done with tableau? If not I can approach this from scratch

...actually - even if someone has a suggestion of how other sources have implemented this well - that would be very helpful.

Hey <@U03HCGK55P0>, here are few PRs that add support for detecting and soft deleting the entities deleted in sources. You can refer them and follow similar approach.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else
