I don't see why deleting a part should generate warnings when I have been told by staff that you can delete copies, volumes, and bibs without warnings about existing holds that will be unable to be filled. The last record that a metarecord hold could fill from could go away without warning as well.

The same goes for removing the part from the last copy it was on, for that matter. No more copies can fill holds on that part.

Also, the current situation not only leads to holds that are unfillable, but those holds are also *broken* in the process with no record of what they were once on.

I will point out that at least one of our libraries has asked for a warning when a delete will render holds unfillable, regardless of what is being deleted. I don't know how that should be answered, though, as it could be that a copy deleted while there were dozens left on the bib was the last one that could fill holds based on hold rules.
