I've wasted countless hours adding this feature to sites and even more wishing some had it. The confirmation page prevents catastrophic data loss and lets the user skip a step (and a lot of scrolling) to do what he really wants. I would also like to remove the delete button form the edit form (because editing has nothing to do with deleting) if this passes usability muster. Let me know and ill add it to the patch.

Adding screenshots so everyone can see. There is no code changed between the two shots just the narrower screen. Youre probably used to seeing local menu tasks below the title if you have the devel module on or if you have long titles, but by default they aere next to it if there is room. The only thing this patch did was add the delete option.
