I concur that using WMF resources to enable circumvention of speedy deletion processes shows no faith in our editors for nominating and administrators in determining if the SD rationale is correct. Second, since this is some sort of bot process, has it ever passed through BRFA as it appears to be using a non trivial amount of resources.

While of course we can’t stop people from doing it on outside systems, I don’t really think Wikimedia Labs should be doing something like this.
