If you’re deleting pages, make sure to set up proper redirects for any that had traffic or backlinks.
@Ozias
Instead of focusing on small details, analyze visitor engagement, bounce rates, and sources of traffic to figure out where improvements are needed.
@Ozias
Your concerns are valid, but this specific issue is minor. Check Search Console to see if the deleted pages had traffic. Drops are often due to Google updates rather than simple mistakes.

Also, check if those pages had quality backlinks. Failing to redirect them properly could explain traffic drops.

You seem ready to blame him for the drop. Let him address the issue before jumping to conclusions.
@Ozias
If you’re unsure, hire a third-party SEO expert to do an audit. That might clear things up.
@Ozias
Maybe the fact that he’s been with you so long is part of the problem. Sometimes fresh perspectives help.
@Ozias
If you’re uneasy about this, it might be time to look for someone new. Trust your instincts.
This kind of carelessness can be a red flag. It may indicate laziness or lack of attention to detail, which is common among less experienced or less committed SEO professionals.
