This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but a legit question for the group:
If someone disagrees with a deletion result, then lists it on DRV, this is generally (with the exception of vanity self-promoters, trolls, and the like) accepted as a good faith effort to improve the encyclopedia.
If someone disagrees with a keep result, then lists it on DRV, this is seen by many as an "abuse of process" and an effort to "get the result he wanted".
The problem I've got with this situation is that the person who listed this on DRV wanted the "keep" result to be overturned _and the article deleted as a result._ He's essentially saying that the default assumption should be that articles are deleteworthy until proven otherwise. This is completely 180 degrees backwards.
If all someone wants to do is "overturn" a keep result there should really be no need for DRV at all, just create another AfD nomination and argue your case there. If the argument works and the new AfD returns a clear "delete", the old AfD's keep result is moot. DRV is only particularly useful for retrieving deleted stuff since you can't make an AfD nomination for an article that doesn't exist.
