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?
Actually it was 14 delete votes to 8 keep votes, so 63% delete, which IS a little on the low side, although the late addition of a reply from the a Chinese Wikipedia editor (Duncharris asked them for advice), "Well, I live in Hong Kong, and I've never heard of it", may have swayed the admin's opinion.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Archived_delete_debates/June_12#Full_... for the discussion.
I personally would have left it on VFD for someone else to action, I too prefer to only delete things with a 75%+ margin. I'll leave the controversial stuff for people who have been admins longer than a few months. :-)
