Why are "keep" closes reviewable on DRV? It seems kind of silly since if someone really wants an article deleted, he can AFD it again. (and again and again and again)
It's a review of the process.
That's a common misunderstanding of deletion review, but it's incorrect if you take a moment to think about it. The process by which a good article is kept or a bad article is deleted doesn't matter. Only the result matters. Deletion review is there because sometimes the process works fine but good article still gets deleted. It's also plausible that a review could also ensure that a bad article gets deleted, but as Ron has suggested the more usual way to fix this is to nominate again.
