Edit-Delete on index tables

I'm redesigning an admin portal. Right not we have A LOT of index tables with Edit-Delete buttons exposed on the table.

Some of the team members want to change the pattern: remove the edit-delete from the table, move the Delete to each specific page and use the item name as a link to Edit.

I'm trying to make a very objective decision. Other than frequency of deleting, what would be good reasons to keep Edit-Delete exposed?
