the initial deletion API patch included support for node and comment deletions. the rest of core still needs to be converted to use the API. we have a wiki page up listing all the stuff left to convert, along with links to the patches that have already been written: http://groups.drupal.org/node/4721 please help test the current patches if you can, or help with some of the remaining conversions. here's a link to deletion API documentation, which you'll probably want to read before attempting any conversions: http://drupal.org/node/153904 conversions don't take all that long, and i'm usually around in IRC to help if you get stuck. thanks in advance for any help. :) hunmonk
