No the bot does not check links and make sure that all pages are "valid"
for deleting.

When there are a few pages up to be deleted, and I do the actual delete
steps, I do check page history etc.  So far, no pages I've ever deleted
were questionable.. ie they were clearly delete material.  I checked a
few random samples from the bot run today, and didn't see anything that
stood out, so in this case, since there were so many to be deleted, I
ran the bot on it... if I hadn't, I'd still be there doing the deletes.
:-P  There were a lot this time.

One saving grace is, if a page is deleted that shouldn't have been, any
admin can easily recover either by going to the deleted page ghost and
undeleting, or picking the page from the delete log and undeleting.
