I disagree, I wrote lots of codes that deletion is a part of them (e.g. this code for deleting items in Wikidata).
Maybe there is one usage of them in core but it has been widely used in customized codes.

Best

There is only one use of Page.protect() , even in compat, so IMO that
code should mostly be moved from Page to scripts/protect.py.

There is also only one use of Page.delete(mark=True), so IMO that code
should mostly be moved from Page to scripts/category.py.

There are many more uses of Page.delete() prompt=True, especially in
compat, so I can see the need for re-use here.

I like that approach.  I'll work on it after my other Bot changeset is
checked in.
