If you are an Author, you can create a Draft item or send a Submitted item.
You need to have permission to publish.
Delete removes the item entirely from the system.
You need to go from published to unpublished to delete.
Expired and Pending are time-based.
Submitted is when you are an Author and have created a submitted item.
Rejected is when a publisher or higher rejects the item.
