We are responsible for enforcing Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. The alternative is OFFICE which is unworkable. If any administrator deletes it and cites Biographies of living persons that is the end of it until the Arbitration Committee says the deletion was unfounded. Yes, you do defer to any administrator who deletes on that basis. However, they should be thoroughly familiar with the policy and be applying it correctly. If they habitually overreach they will soon be in trouble with us.
Under what policy or ArbCom principle is this?

Is ArbCom now doing content decisions? I think at the very least that's something the community should be notified about, even if not given the opportunity to discuss, that's a -major- change in the ArbCom's area of authority.
