Dispute resolution, eventually leading to arbitration. Wikipedia:Biographies of living
persons must actually apply before one has license to do all these extraordinary things.
The article stays deleted until there is a decision. Repeated inappropriate removal of
material or deletion of article will lead to restrictions on the administrator or user who
is using the policy in an inappropriate way.

This is good advice, Fred. The question comes up though, that I originally
posited, of what if people disagree with that decision--even other admins?
What is/should be the appropriate public recourse process or method for
questioning and reviewing such a decision? Let's say [[Joe Szilagyi]] gets
made and then deleted as a BLP vio by Admin #1. Admin #2 disagrees with this
decision.
Then what?
