Seen similar suggestion at US forum, but want to add my 2 cents:
Many of us have accidentally deleted something useful while removing a bunch of expired buildings or a bunch of temporary WS/factories for FA/event.
Current confirmation doesn't work at all in this situation, since you are forced to approve it after each building - it's just annoying you and you don't even look at its contents.
Last time I heard about such thing happened - it was stage10 fire phoenix on live server... Not sure if support would restore it... Just imagine loosing such a unique thing that can't be replaced with something similar like other buildings...
The solution I see is to remove that confirmation at all, but add a checkbox inside the status window of the building that prevents this building from a deletion. This checkbox should be set by default for all buildings except lvl1 manufactories and workstations (for them it should be automatically set on upgrade, and may be even not on first upgrade, but based on current chapter, so that temporary event/FA ones can be deleted without any confirmation at all).
That checkbox should be automatically unchecked or ignored on already expired buildings.
+ not sure about guest race buildings, for them old confirmation is good enough, probably.
Thought about it a bit more - for regular buildings that can be simply built from menu old confirmation is good enough too (except low level WS/factories, they don't deserve confirmation).
If confirmation won't pop up on any useless building, people would take a look at it when it appear for useful building. + checkbox for rare buildings (like grand prizes from events) and AWs to be sure.
