You would only want well established users to be able to delete
articles for some notion of 'well esablished'. Otherwise people will
register just for the joy of deleting other people's articles. If well
established users delete articles inappropriately, then the admins can
lock them out, and they can't do it anymore; so any problem is self
limiting.
