Comment (by Otto42):

 -1.

 Using GET links to delete things might not be the greatest idea. What if
 you're running a pre-caching type of thing (such as, say, google's web
 accelerator, or half a dozen others) and it prefetches your deletion link?
 HTTP GET is generally considered safe. Deleting something based on a GET,
 even with nonces, is not safe.

 Let the plugin build a form instead. It's a minor thing for safety.
