Comment (by tmoitie1):

 I've got this problem - Advanced Custom Fields is overriding this filter
 in order to post and has created a lot of untrashable posts:

 {{{
         /*
         *  wp_insert_post_empty_content
         *
         *  This function will allow WP to insert a new post without title
 / content if ACF data exists
         *
         *  @type        function
         *  @date        16/07/2014
         *  @since       5.0.1
         *
         *  @param       $maybe_empty (bool) whether the post should be
 considered "empty"
         *  @param       $postarr (array) Array of post data
         *  @return      $maybe_empty
         */

         function wp_insert_post_empty_content( $maybe_empty, $postarr ) {

                 if( $maybe_empty && !empty($_POST['_acfchanged']) ) {

                         $maybe_empty = false;

                 }


                 // return
                 return $maybe_empty;
         }
 }}}

 Whilst this example is probably a bug of ACF, I think that WordPress
 should be able to delete any posts independently of validation rules
 defining how they should be created or updated.
