Comment (by mrahmadawais):

 I have the logic ready, just unable to figure out where to add it.
 Can't do it in wp-admin/edit.php.
 Reviewed wp-admin/includes/class-wp-post-list-table.php and added the
 check and it works, but an editor can always go inside the page and trash
 it from there.

 So, I figured the better way to stop editor from deleting a page which is
 being used as front page should be editing the user's capability of
 {{{
 delete_pages
 }}}

 Now unable to figure it out where to do that. Looking inside /wp-
 admin/includes/schema.php but I think it's not right. Looking for
 pointers.
