@Witty,

You are right..Delete is not a part of SCD.But an unwanted dimensional value need not be necessasary for an organization.For ex: a customer from a bank gets detached.Moreover,the bank doesnt need any info about him.
Now the delete operation helps.

Probably "string" alone represents a char or varchar field which is unbounded in its length.So the warning.
