Hi, It looks like the wikibase API[1] does not provide a way to delete an item. To remove an item / propery on http://test.wikidata.org a script would have do web scrapping and use the same interface people attending the deletion requests do[2]. Unfortunately a regular user does not seem to have permission to do that on test.wikidata.org. Would it be possible to upgrade the user permissions to allow deletion of items / property on test.wikidata.org ?
