If someone hasn't logged in for a while and they don't clear their towns, I keep an eye on how long they're gone for and if it's a week or more I will probably delete them, but it depends on the situa...

I don't care if neighbors visit me every day when there's no event requiring visiting my town (stonecutters), so I never keep track of their handshakes. I only care to try and visit every day because of free donuts/FPs/event currency. Unfortunately this is a period full of exams so I can only visit once in 2-3 days at least until August, but I always clear handshakes and leave a small brown farm from which I never collect.
I don't add neighbors based on firndship/IRL/regulars, I just add a random bunch from the last 2 pages of the current add-me thread, so I don't feel bad in deleting some of them sometimes. I however have a couple of IRL friends and some forum regulars who won't be deleted unless I know for sure they quitted, or they haven't logged in for months.
Instead, for a random neighbor to be deleted he must be untappable for at least one week. I mean, you can avoid visiting me if you want, but at least keep your town clean. Low level players are excluded from this slaughter because I know they need to tap their few building to make cash, or they have 100 friends visiting them and they can't keep free their 10 buildings all the time.
In case of an event with currency (eggs,emblems) the delete time for random neighbors lowers down to 3-4 days depending on how much currency I need and how much time I have left to complete the event.
