Steps to reproduce the issue
I had the default "getting started" article published on the home page while developing.
I first set it to be not featured but it still displayed on homepage.
I then moved to trash but it still showed.
I then emptied the trash.
from then I could not load the home page at all. Redirect loop issue
I went into phpmyadmin and assigned an article the ID of 1 and saved.
can now load home page.
tested on default template and had same issue so not template related.
Expected result
Not have a featured article on homepage
be able to delete article without issue.
Actual result
redirect loop

@pcmitsis I set up a demo account (https://wallstudios.demojoomla.com/index.php) and went through the same steps as before.
with the default install (no sample content) the getting started homepage link goes to the article id1 now if I delete that the site can't find it and then redirects to a 404 which is trying to redirect to the home page. hence the loop.
on the demo site it shows a 404 message. but on my dev site it just looped.
If the homepage menu is set to "Featured" it will work.
So it may simply need to not have the default home link set to an article.
Or just change the home page link to an existing piece of content. Surely it is expected behaviour if you have a menu link to something that doesnt exist that you get an error

@brianteeman yes of course it is expected to have a 404 if you are trying to go to a page that doesn't exist. No issue with that. But I wouldn't expect a home page link it to be an article link by default. And that could just be me and not an issue.
I guess the only thing that needs to be done if anything is confirm that when you install 3.4 and select no sample content that the "Home" menu isn't directly linked to a content item but maybe to the "featured" option.
That way if articles are removed the home page doesn't break.

As the behaviour on an install without sample data IS to do exactly what you are suggesting I am closing this

@wallstudios Can you verify the problem with the latest code from the staging branch because i followed your steps but i could not find any problem. I emptied the trash and i was able to access the homepage of joomla without any posts (including th ID 1) successfully!
