For a normal user, no: only wiki admins can delete pages. In fact on mwiki you cannot get rid of those pages at all because if you try to move them to a new location, a redirect remains on the old address. On the last few weeks we "cleaned" the ES mwiki by changing on all the non useful pages the category from ES to OldES, being sure that nothing linked to those pages and then restarted almost from scratch with new content on a new folder structure. IMO, this is the best we can do: if at least the address is still useful change the content, if not even the address is useful make sure that nothing link to that page and remove any meaningful category from it to avoid users arriving by accident.
