I think you didn't follow this thread in its entirety. This was about SPUI removing an entry from AfD that was an obvious speedy keep. If people had acknowledged that this was right, instead of insisting that everything must go strictly according to protocol and norm, then there would never have been any reverting, no 3RR violation and no edit war.
For an "obvious speedy keep" it's sure getting a lot of delete votes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Interchanges_on...
This is exactly why we have the 3RR; different people have different opinions and revert warring won't solve anything. Carbonite
