BTW, the 'delete this page' option is very handy in the stub and orphan list... but I really doubt that it belongs in the 'long articles' listing.
Well, if there were a page listed there with a length of several million bytes, you might well suspect it to be deletable material.
It's rather dangerous! I doubt that the people who wrote treatises on various things would like to see them casually deleted by a passer-by or a troll...
Passers-by and trolls haven't been granted sysop status, so don't have a "delete this page" option.
I wasn't sure whether that particular option was available to anyone from those menus or just to sysops. And it's true that if the largest file was incredibly long then you'd want it to go :)
