I don't believe a compile error is a good enough reason to delete a
package. If the source code is still available you can always patch it.

The best reasons for deletion are:
 - It contains malicious programs.
 - The package is a duplicate of another.
 - The package is obsolete. Development has moved to another project.
 - Source code or data is no longer available.
 - There is some kind of legal issue that forbits a PKGBUILD. This is
   probably non existant.
