The message is incorrect - AFAIK it was discussed before.
For some languages ending for n=1 is also used for some other forms (f. e.
21, 101 or 1001). We shouldn't consider English only.
For this reason it is almost always better to use single message
"_n: Do you really want to delete this item\n"
"Do you really want to delete these %n items"
instead of dividing it into two.
