this is what Koha produces from a patron list of 3 people when only 1 could be
deleted.

Currently, the patron deletion tool will not delete patrons who has fines
and/or checkouts.  Unfortunately, the tool does not indicate the patrons that
were not deleted because of these constraints.  It would be nice to have Koha
identify the # of patrons that were requested to be deleted, the number of
patrons successfully deleted (with possibly a list) and the number and
specifics of the patrons that could not be deleted due to checkouts/fines. This
would give clear indication what was accomplished with this tool for libraries.
 The current functionality of entering patrons that have checkouts/fines that
have been requested to be deleted, Koha all but ignores those patrons and
doesn't say anything.  For example, if I had a patron list of 3 patrons and I
requested Koha delete this entire list of patrons.  If 2 of those patrons had
fines/checkouts, Koha would only display 1 patron deleted.  This would not be a
link to the patron that was deleted - just a simple number.  

In addition, the manual does not have correct information regarding this tool -
as it indicates - this is quoted from the 17.11 manual : 

"Important

Patrons with outstanding fines or items checked out are not saved. They are not
completely removed from the system (they are only moved to the delete_borrowers
table), but this tool does not provide as many checks as one may desire."
