Is this a valid Sinatra route handler?

Is this a valid route handler?

post '/lists/:id/delete' do
   #delete list
   ...
end

I can't get it to fire.

Yes, it is. But it will only fire when you do a HTTP POST request, e.g. submit a form using the post method:

<form action="/lists/17/delete" method="post">
  ...
</form>

If you enter the same URL in you browser, however, a HTTP GET request will be fired. If this is what you want, you should replace post with get in your route.
