That depends on whether they claimed there was a violation. If they claim there is a violation, and you think there was not, follow dispute resolution procedures. Avoid wheelwarring. If they don't claim there was a Biographies of living persons' violation then it is just an ordinary dispute where you should participate in discussions about what to do and see where it goes. If an article does not violate Biographies of living persons, it reverts to the usual decision process regarding deletion. I should say, usual awful process. With respect to your own behavior, I think it is probably better to accept decisions once they are made rather than indefinitely continuing to try to reverse it.
If you're making statements like this before an ArbCom case that specifically discusses this, I'm really rather disturbed by it.
As for the rest, you pretty much avoided my question by essentially saying "if it does violate, it violates. If it doesn't, it doesn't." Well, yeah. The issue is when you have two separate opinions.

If the person removing or deleting material asserts Biography of living persons as a basis then that policy rules until there is community consensus or an Arbitration Committee decision to the contrary.
