It is best not to leave people with dead ends.  If they are very likely (as in this case) to type in "front desk" as a search, there should be either a page named "Front desk" or a redirect which takes you to the page they wanted to see but did not know how to reach.  It is much better to do that than to delete pages.

Use redirects

It is best not to leave people with dead ends. If they are very likely (as in this case) to type in "front desk" as a search, there should be either a page named "Front desk" or a redirect which takes you to the page they wanted to see but did not know how to reach. It is much better to do that than to delete pages.
