The relentless discussion about deletion that I am just catching up with on this mailing list prompted to review a deletion decision that got on my nerves back in June. "Full nice handbag co" was a pathetic little article about a textile company in Hong Kong. It was never much of an article, but it was real, neutral, factual, verifiable. It was very narrowly VfDed (with a small majority of about 55-60% voting delete) on grounds of non-notability. Following deletion, I objected at VfU - my grounds for undeletion were that the reasons for deletion were so tenuous (see below) and the majority so small that we should have erred on the side of caution and kept the article
I'm not sure if things have changed since I stopped being as heavily involved in it, but I was under the impression that a 55-60% margin wasn't considered enough to delete. I know I personally don't delete things unless it's more like a 75% margin or more. Perhaps someone erred?
