Deleting model objects from Admin not triggering BEFORE_DELETE and AFTER_DELETE hooks

[babus]

Calling model_object.delete() successfully calls both BEFORE_DELETE and AFTER_DELETE hooks but if the same object is deleted from Django admin the hooks are not being called.

I met the same issue but found out it had been explained and addressed by official Django doc: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/actions/#admin-actions

As @eplutus said, this is a limitation of Django itself. It's explained in the docs, and it says some possible workarounds.

I'm closing this as there's nothing more we can do.
