Deletion

Before deleting catalog records, first carefully consider the alternatives (such as Encumbrances and Redirects). In general, if there’s any chance that a record has been cited, however informally, then the record should not be deleted.

Deleting is often appropriate for fixing mistakes in just-loaded records.

Please file an Issue if you have any doubt about deleting records.
