Why is it bad? 

I think if the lists are just personal, they should be deleted with the patron, if it's a shared list (which is currently not yet possible I think?) - it should probably stay around until the last user is deleted... but I thought that was already the case looking at some of the code recently.
Comment 2 Mathieu Saby 2013-09-21 08:44:04 UTC 
It is bad because we have some "duplicate" patrons in our base (for some reasons, migration issues, or double import from LDAP when somebody has 2 accounts in LDAP)
Some colleague found it was safe to delete a patron's account in Koha, but they suppressed the account he used for making suggestions and for making lists. And he asked us explanations when his lists and suggestions disappeared...
All I could say was "it is a kind of bug in our system" ;-)

See Bug 11889 - I have created a patch for a syspref that lets you choose whether to delete a user's lists when you delete their account, or if the ownership of those lists will get transferred to the person who deleted the owner.
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2019-05-04 21:55:57 UTC 
I think the discussion on disowning a list (bug 11889) as pointed out by Aleisha and the new patron merge feature should solve the issues mentioned here.
