Nothing about VfD is Policy with a capital P, laid down or decreed by me. It's just a social custom, no more and no less. If the VfD process decides that an article like "Palestinian views on the peace process" should be redirected or deleted, there's absolutely nothing to prevent the next person who comes along from trumping the VfD process by just editing the page.
Except that, until we have reversible delete, someone who wants to edit a deleted page is deprived of the opportunity to build on the previous form.
