In this answer there is a reference to a Kaddish that is better left unsaid as it is a Kaddish L'vatola.
Kaddish does not seem to have anything in it which cannot be said in a vacuum. Is there any reason to not say Kaddish other than the possibility that it doesn't accomplish anything and would be a possible waste of time?
I am not asking about whether Amen should be responded to such a Kaddish. I am asking if there would be any reason for the Kaddish itself to not be said. This could be relevant for a chazzan to practice singing Kaddish, or just to sing Kaddish to myself because I like the tune.
Answer
Nishmas Yisrael Page 469 at the bottom brings in the name of Shaalos U'Teshuvos Maharshag that there is no issue of Bracha L'Vatala in Kaddish since there is no mention of Hashem's name in it.
