I think that Pedro's approach is better: those users should get right to delete page (as well to undelete if they make a mistake; or it is not necessary?), too. Vandals and spammers are making new pages, too and those pages should be deleted.
I proposed rollback-only because faster reverting probably isn't controversial, but being able to delete and restore pages on all wikis (including large wikis like en-Wikipedia) is probably much more controversial. That's technically possible too, if there is community consensus to do it.
Delete/undelete rights are not a bid deal. There are persons at developed projects which take care about deleting and undeleting pages. The rule added for covering this issue may be very simple: using those rights at projects with regularly active administrators will be sanctioned by removing rights immediately. I think that it is fair enough and that every reasonable Wikimedian may agree with such rules.
