Question: Why not? If DRV is so poisonous, why not make it so that
someone unhappy with a deleted article just has to convince one of the
~800 admins to give the matter the benefit of the doubt and undelete,
then list on AFD again. This would basically turn DRV into a
noticeboard where admins can pick up articles that are not obviously
delete-worthy.
Sounds like a fine idea to me, if only for the sake of simplifying
the
deletion situation (one set of "rules" rather than two). And then once
AfD gets fixed it'll solve everything at once.
