If you take a look at the undeletion requests after the URAA discussion, most of the images restored were deleted afterwards anyway.[1][2] The only exception that I've seen are some German stamps that haven't been deleted (yet). The problem is that, at this moment, most of the people whose valid images were quickly deleted and re-deleted are tired and have no intention to start again defending their contributions when they will be deleted no matter what.

with final consensus that "URAA cannot be used as the sole reason for deletion"...
This is a selective quote, missing the explicit caveat that: "Deleted files can be restored after a discussion in COM:UDR."
If the process is being followed correctly, there should be an established specific consensus via an undeletion request, *before* an administrator action can or should be taken.
