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".
I don't think there's any problem with that, although I'd prefer to see such a discussion take place inn a second noimination, on AfD, not DRV. The reason for this is that DRV is not consensus-based; discussions are effectively votes and a tally is made. At the end, the decision is overturned if there is a 75% vote to overturn it. The AfD process, by contrast, is much more in keeping with the way we try to run Wikipedia.
There are other problems with DRV, but I am addressing those with some success.
