The "inconsistent" property is to display the toggle as
in-between, or rather neither-yes-nor-no, state.

However, what you describe does not really look like an
in-between state.  You have two states:
- not marked for deletion
- marked for deletion
where the second has two sub-states.  I suggest to think
about a different presentation than abusing "inconsistent"
(adding a small mark to one of the substates for instance),
especially since the rendering of the states is theme
dependent.
