Yes.

Deletion is a permanent operation and deletes any history or changelog
for the page. There is no easy way to revert it, so that should be used
with caution.

Who owns a page? The user who started it? The user who contributed the
most? The last user editing the page?

As many people can make edits on a single page it would be bad if
someone else could delete it just because they created it...

There are no user-specific permissions in Trac AFAIK.
