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.
