The UK guidance you mentioned there appears to apply to the DPA (the current legislation in this area) and not the GDPR (the new legislation with the stronger rights for deletion etc.).

In what way do you think the GDPR right to erasure is “stronger”?

In that no directly comparable right even exists under the current DPA?

That's not really how European law works.

huehehue was interested in what the GDPR might mean by erasure and deletion. This is the ICO's opinion about it. It'd be a surprise if they suddenly interpret erasure and deletion differently: There would have to be something in the GDPR that suggests that this isn't good enough.
