This bot requires deletion rights. D. Matt Innis 01:59, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Some of these redirects should have been redirected from moved articles. Deleting them leaves some loss of redirect functioning. Are we sure we shouldn't be running something that will reconnect deleted redirects. In other words, similar to the double redirect bot; find the article they were supposed to be redirected to. See Rap and hip hop and the article that it should redirect to - Rap and hip hop. D. Matt Innis 01:59, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- I did not notice it at once, but now I have some concerns with this bot, too:
- As already noted by Matt, some redirects might better be redirected than deleted.
- Some redirects may "hide" pages with history that should not be deleted.
- Some redirects may serve similar to red links (e.g., when they carry also a definition page).
- Thus: human interaction will be needed --Peter Schmitt 01:21, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
