Bulk delete places?

[tiwane]

My (non-dev) understanding is that there is a large “cost” for creating a place, editing a place’s boundary, or deleting a place because it triggers a lot of reindexing, especially if there are a lot of observations in that place. Outside of that, there is a continuing smaller cost for each place on iNat. As to whether it’s worth the cost of deletion to remove a place, I think it depends a lot on how many observations are in it.
