In many real-world data cleaning scenarios, you may want to flag duplicate entries rather than remove them right away. Flagging gives you the flexibility to review duplicates, analyze their patterns, and make informed decisions about which ones to keep or discard. For instance, in customer databases, you may want to investigate why duplicates occur before deletion, or in transactional data, you might need to audit the records before any removal. By marking duplicates, you can also generate reports, track data quality issues, and collaborate with others on resolution strategies without losing potentially valuable information.
