After migrating pages to Confluence, move each page to the "Pre-confluence" namespace without leaving a redirect behind. This ensures that it's obvious the page is gone and displays a "paper trail" if anyone tries to access the page.
Pages can be migrated by copying-and-pasting the wikitext ("View source" if you're not logged in) into a file, running: 
pandoc -f mediawiki -t docx -o /tmp/dummy.docx <wikitextfile>

And then importing /tmp/dummy.docx into a blank Confluence page.
