@DannyS712, who and when executes that script?

From memory @Krinkle has run it ad-hoc previously, but its not run on the wmf cluster automatically via crontabs

Well, in that case I would say that what this ticket requests is indeed needed. Besides it is not always that the message has to be deleted (e.g. a Sitenotice most of the time on most wikis would match the content from Translatewiki, but it should not be deleted), and it is a good idea to provide humans a way to easily spot such cases.
