 Currently, any user with administrator privileges for one blog within a
 multisite network can delete this specific blog. While the creation of new
 blogs can be restricted to network admins in the network options, there is
 no such option for the deletion of blogs.

 When I dug into the code of `wp-admin/ms-delete-site.php`, I stumbled upon
 the following comment in line 15:
 {{{
 // @todo Create a delete blog cap.
 if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )
 wp_die(__( 'You do not have sufficient permissions to delete this
 site.'));
 }}}

 I'd suggest to introduce such a capability. Then it would be possible to
 control who is able to delete a blog within the multisite network.
