This doesn't works well because the params are not inside of binding in 
closures. The params are the interface with the outside world and will 
be confuse know if a param is a binding or not. By default Erlang hasn't 
binding in function params.

This code could be writted as:

delete_key_from_list(Key, StatusList)->
     lists:filter(fun(X) -> Key =/= X end, StatusList).
