Is "distraer + a + someone" a phrase?
I read a sentence, "¡No distraigas a los otros estudiantes!"
Can the word "a" be deleted?

No, you need the "a" because los otros estudiantes is the direct object. If you don't put the "a" the sentence makes no sense, since you don't know who you are distracting.
