You're right, people who still visit your Springfield and tap buildings should not be deleted. But when you tap them in the Origin friend's list and you see they havn't been online for 10 or more weeks, then you should kick them off the list and look for some others. Obviously these players resigned playing and probably they will not come back.

Once I had the same problem as written in the starting post, it even was in about the same time (end of January, begining of February). Solution for me was really easy: I restarted the game and everything was fine again.
