Thank you for your suggestions. I'm going to take a look tomorrow
when I have a bit more time. But as far as what I'm trying to achieve:
We set a series of like pages in a single document and make edits
through several rounds of proofs. Once the pages are final, we drag
pages from each of these files to a new document that contains
several different kinds of pages. The problem is that while setting
the pages, we often delete or alter objects from Master Pages on
document pages. When the pages are dragged into the new document,
Master Page items that had been deleted reappear. Our solution to
this has been to override all Master Page items on Master Pages and
document pages, detach all items from the Master Pages, then delete
every object on every Master Page before dragging the pages to the
new document. This works, but is very tedious and seems like a
perfect situation for a script.
Thanks,
David

overriding and detaching items
I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, but if you want to
detach items
you must first override them, using code like that Stan posted,
before you
can detach them. Something like this:
tell document 1
set overriddenItems to override master page items of page pageNum
destination page page pageNum
detach overriddenItems
