[Developers] orphaned compound values

[Darin Wilson]

Hi Arthur-

You can use this query to mark something for deletion:

{
   "query" : {
     "type" : "/freebase/opinion_collection"
     "mark_for_delete" : {
       "id" : [id of topic to delete here]
     },
     "create" : "unless_exists",
   }
}
