Looking for some advice. Have tried this to feed news articles into our site, however we tend to delete some and want to limit. Those deleted articles keep coming back when the RSS feed is triggered again. Is there a way to stop this?

Yes, unlist them instead of deleting them, or remove them from the RSS source.

Anything you delete that’s still in the RSS feed will be resurrected/recreated.
