Yep, the wiki should be correct. As far as I understood, if the user
deletes one (or more) entries, pressing Cancel will restore the Range
Names state when the dialog was opened. So this is the user's "backup"
strategy.

But you mention an important point ... for later. User have an urgent
need to get confirmation what had happened. So we'll need (for the whole
office suite) a tricky confirmation method, for example: If the user
deletes an entry from the table, then an overlay "Deleted $RANGE_NAME"
might appear.

However, let's now omit the additional confirmation dialog.

Yep, it is part of the printing dialog (tab "General", "Printer
Details").
