Even if the error is handled better in WikibaseMediaInfo in the future, I figure the property deletion process should have included a haswbstatement search on Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/haswbstatement:P727>, not only checking that it wasn’t used anymore on Wikidata. Thanks for tagging, but this is something the software should just be able to handle. The software should assume things get deleted and should have tests to confirm it works when something is deleted. So no, any wiki using data from Wikidata should right their software in a way that it can handle the fact that stuff gets deleted. We probably need to be doing a round of checking and awareness. Having exceptions like this in production is not really my preferred way of raising awareness, but it's probably quite effective.
