deleting a file involves a write access to the directory containing that file. So, to delete a file, you need to have write permission to the directory containing it.
Btw, I don't think your approach isn't a good one. Okay, it's no problem to share directories with other users. But being that generous about "everybody's" permission can be dangerous.
If two or more users work together on a project, I'd rather create a new group and put these users into it. Then, assign the shared directory to that group, and grant the group full access to the directory and the files in it.
