Yes, but if the user has JS disabled, you have a problem.

What I typically do is have two separate actions, a "delete"
and a "do_delete". The "delete" action merely displays the
record and has a form (link, whatever) asking "Are you sure?",
and then if they agree, you perform the "do_delete" that does
the business. 

You could also have a single delete action but with a
"confirm" parameter signalling that you're really deleting,
etc. There are lots of options.

You can pair this with JS if you want.

Best,
