It would also be preferable if you could have options to:

  • disable it globally (also disabling logging for the Auth app etc.)
  • disable it for individual models
  • disable it for individual apps

I'm hesitating to accept this request.

Our ​contributing guidelines recommend sending feature requests to the ​django-developers mailing list. Could you start a discussion to see if there's support for this idea?

Please include a link to the discussion in the comments.

PS: the quick'n'dirty way to achieve this is to hook to the post_delete signal to clean up related log entries.
