You may want to see this. Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 06:55, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I see the relevance of it, exactly, can you explain? If Multichill is going to run this now instead of Docu, let the nom be withdrawn and made by Multichill instead. ++Lar: t/c 15:57, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would've just changed the info, and restarted the bot req (which Multichill should do if he intends to run the bot). Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 08:39, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The info is below too (see #Discussion). -- User:Docu at 08:47, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I do not see the need of this bot at this time. There are enough administrators capable of deleting stuff when fit and needed. There is also the issue of differentiating between empty categories that can be speedy deleted and those that should present a redirect instead. Therefore, this type of task should really be under the discretion of human administrators. Lar also brings up a good point here --O (висчвын) 03:56, 28 September 2009 (GMT)
  •  Oppose per Lar. Kwj2772 (msg) 15:42, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - I would rather see a admin as bot operator for a bot doing admin tasks. Huib talk 18:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not all moved categories should be deleted. Better let some of them be a category redirect. If cats are to be deleted then mark them with a {{Speedy}} or just make a list. If Multichill don't have the time I'm sure others (me?) have time. If not it should not be a big problem if it take a few days. --MGA73 (talk) 13:55, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

I would say its much beter if the bot tags for Speedy deletion or category redirection because it could be easy processed manual, I delete like 10 a 30 empty categories in the Speedy delete category every day, I don't really see the need why a bot should delete it when it can be done manual. :-) Huib talk 21:08, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Alternatively, rather than objecting the proposal based on a formality, one could review it in detail. -- User:Docu at 11:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
When there is really need for a bot like this and it needs to be runned by a administrator I could be willing to help, but like above I think tagging with category redirect or Speedy could work also Huib talk 21:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
