Why is it that we don't have deletion wars among admins? You can argue it's because admins are better than that, or you can argue that it's because admins know they'd be deadminned if they did such a thing. But either argument could apply to any editor. We don't have to allow editors to get into deletion wars. Personally I don't think it makes a difference whether or not non-admins can delete articles, though. In my opinion the important thing is that non-admins can view articles which have been deleted via the VFD process.
