Title:
  Merged/renamed team remains in directory

Status in LoCo Directory:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu Washington LoCo has two pages:

    http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/washingtonstate
    http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-washington

  However, the washintonstate team no longer exists in Launchpad. This
  has caused at least one user some confusion:

  I asked about this here:

    https://answers.launchpad.net/loco-directory/+question/145466

  As suggested I followed this up in #ubuntu-locoteams, and had the
  following conversation:

  {{{
     allenap: Hi, the Ubuntu Washington LoCo has two pages. One of them
              points to a team that no longer exists, so I wondered if
              someone could delete it? More details here:
              https://answers.launchpad.net/loco-
              directory/+question/145466
       daker: allenap, i think czajkowski can do it
     allenap: daker: Tip-top, thank you.
  czajkowski: allenap: aye we know
  czajkowski: nothing we can do about it though, it's a db issue
  czajkowski: nothing the council can do
   cjohnston: czajkowski: cant merge it?
  czajkowski: cjohnston: nope seemingly not
   cjohnston: does it give an error?
  czajkowski: cjohnston: I don't know. going by what I was told.
  czajkowski: cjohnston: ask dholbach
   cjohnston: ook
    dholbach: a db issue?
    dholbach: team admins/owner should be able to merge the teams
    dholbach: there should be a "merge teams" option there
  }}}

  I had also mentioned it on #ubuntu-us-wa and got a response there too,
  later on (slightly edited):

  {{{
  althara: allenap, it can't be changed. That's why there are two
           washington teams. One has [the] correct launchpad group.
  althara: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-washington
  althara: the loco directory can't handle changes like that
  althara: I asked about it when chuck finally got around to changing our
           launchpad team name. They basically said it's not designed to
           update.
  }}}

  This bug is confusing users so it seems to be worth supporting merged
  or renamed teams a little better (just hiding the invalid page would
  be enough).

  I'm working this week (I'm a Launchpad dev) on making it easier and
  more reliable for people to merge teams so this problem is likely to
  be a more frequent occurrence.
