replies: text: It is your responsibility to do the deletion cleanly and not leave broken links, broken redirects, or red boxes in articles.
Although it's nice to clean articles, it is not required.  I rarely do it: only admins can delete images, whereas anyone can clean redlinks from articles.  dbenbenn | talk 18:31, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

text: There's no reason why you shouldn't do it: deleted images usually only a few (if not one) page(s) linking to them, and unless you're on a mass-deletion spree, it's very helpful. Perhaps a suggestion that "It is greatly recommended that you clean up after the deletion and not leave broken links, broken redirects, or red boxes in articles." — Ambush Commander(Talk) 03:22, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I am always on a mass-deletion spree.  Check out :Category:Images with unknown source, :Category:Images with unknown copyright status, and their sub-categories.  Admins are barely able to keep up with deleting images; I truly don't have the time to also worry about removing links from articles.  dbenbenn | talk 22:07, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Do we really need "history" to be a link to the page's history?  If the page has a history a reminder always comes up anyway. -- Francs2000  03:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That is very true. But this could be for the newbies. However, I too feel that this is a bit redundent. --Siva1979Talk to me 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: We discussed at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Deletion_reason of the importance to link to the discussion when a deletion is based on a deletion discussion, I propose to add this:
* If you intend to delete as a result of a deletion debate, link the discussion in the deletion log.

thread_title:  Deletion discussion 

message: This is really (really) nitpicky (apologies) but technically the second sentence of the last parent bullet point doesn't have complete parallelism.  It currently reads "You may select one of the common reasons from the dropdown menu, use a handwritten summary, or both" but should be either "...handwritten summary, or use/do both" OR "You may select use one of the common reasons from the dropdown menu, use a handwritten summary, or both."  I'd also like to propose that the WhatLinksHere link be separated to What links here, to match the actual text in the toolbox (Alternatively, it could be Special:WhatLinksHere to match the url). ~ Amory (u • t • c) 21:17, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
