I think the better question is whether or not there is a reason to apply it here. I'm more than happy to clearly identify the account as a bot account on its user page (and if requested, in the edit summaries as well). However, a little creative license with regard to user names seems perfectly

acceptable to me. For all of the serious issues discussed and debated here, I think it's important to remember that this is supposed to be a hobby, so being entitled to a little harmless fun seems reasonable. Your thoughts? --
275:
I'd be very much inclined to agree with you, for my part, so long as it is abundently clear that the edits are bot edits. My own habit is to include a link to the BRFA in the edit summary (e.g. ]).
315:
Yes, substantially less creative. And, obviously the bot whips (gathers?), dips (checks each of them?), and slides (posts to the wiki?) broken redirects and orphaned talk pages. Or something. :-) --

Both contain a delete parameter that is set to false. If set to true, it would not output the affected rows and would instead delete the pages before posting the report to the wiki.

I think the reason is because it is policy. Aren't policies typically followed unless there is a reason not to? I would suggest that if possible, the bot use "bot" in its name.--

Is "Whip, dip, and slide bot" really less creative? Especially if you can come up with a good explanation of how "Whip, dip, and slide" describes what the bot does. ;)

Working as expected. Quite happy with the results. I made a minor tweak to some of the language used, per user request. I'm all set. --
