Only intentional deletions are positive contributions. There are "mouse mistake" deletions. And "haste" deletions. All I ask is that before deleting a POI, that you (beginner, intermediate or guru) examine it. Can it be fixed? Should it be disused: instead? There are few POIs that can be reasonably deleted from the geometry alone... which is why I feel putting the trash can in the editing area is poor workflow. Instead set the UI up to encourage good workflow: see a POI that might be bad, examine it's current content and/or history, apply local knowledge and/or research, and then execute a course of action. Respect the prior mapper's work by actually looking at it, prior to deleting it.
