 Hi, I cannot delete the post publish when I programmably insert post into
 WordPress.  Using this part of code:
 {{{
 $post_id = wp_insert_post(
     array(
         'comment_status' => 'closed',
         'ping_status'    => 'closed',
         'post_status'    => 'publish',
         'post_type'      => 'post',
         'post_title'     => $posttitle,
         'post_content'   => $postcontent,
     )
 );
 }}}
 when there is no value assign to `$posttitle` and `$postcontent`,
 WordPress still create a post without any title and content which I can't
 delete at all.

 > when there is no value assign to $posttitle and $postcontent, WordPress
 still create a post without any title and content which I can't delete at
 all.

 Could not reproduce on a clean install. Trying to create an empty post
 with `wp_insert_post()` results in an error: [source:tags/3.9.1/src/wp-
 includes/post.php#L2953 ""Content, title, and excerpt are empty""].
