These images need to be reviewed by a human.. many of them obtained a free tag through license roulette and are obvious violations to even the most cursory examination. A move to commons is a good time to perform such a check.
This isn't an argument against the API allowing deletion, but just a factor pointing out that the dream of fully automated moves should never be made real. :)
I'm not aiming for a "move everything" automaton, rather for a tool that can * list images on a "source wiki" (e.g., all images of a user) * shows thumbnails and description of each image * has a checkbox for each image * and a button "move selected images"
Basically, my "PushForCommons" tool, but pimped ;-)
For example, I remember there's some user (on de, I think) who uploaded hundreds of images of tractors, which he took during some exhibition. They all have a similar, complete description. I'd like to be able to take these and move them all at once, since I know they're all OK.
