Yes but the rate of false positives needs to be very low for community acceptance. A1 and A3 are very difficult ones for a bot to get right, not least because most of the ones where it is ultimately valid will be manually tagged before a bot would think they were legitimate tags. Also it is not easy for a bot to click what links here and do the other basic checks you need to do before you can decide that an A1 or A3 article can't be salvaged through ordinary editing and does indeed need a deletion tag.

G3 and G10 however I think I could see a bot being coded for. "mmmmm is Gay" and so forth are fairly easy tests that could identify quite a few articles that merit summary deletion.

However this isn't really the place for bot requests. If someone can design a bot that reliably spots G3 or G10 articles then I'm sure there would be interest at the bot request page. The difficult bit is coming up with a design that won't have an unacceptable number of false positives. WereSpielChequers 18:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
