I always find it curious when the number of comments on an article exceed that of the point value. It leads me to suspect that users get angry over the article for some reason. To add to the discussion, however, I knew the answer because I had a run in with doing this sort of thing. I had built a simple game with OpenGL - stuff moved around on the screen and you could shoot it. Due to the way I constructed the objects, it was trivial to "Delete this" when the object should disappear - a bullet collides with an enemy, perhaps. I did it, it worked exactly as expected. The follow up question - "What can you do after delete this; ?" - also reared it's head, and that's when I found the other edge to the sword and shied away from it's usage. It felt so much more elegant as "delete this;" :(
