Empty "just_a_test" community - Removal Suggestion (programming.dev)

The !just_a_test@programming.dev community is an empty, dead community created (moderated) by an inactive, empty account.

I would prefer it if it were deleted so as not to clutter the instance community list.

Does this instance have a concrete guideline or precedent for that or would be able to decide at the discretion of an admin?
