I think that was basically my point -- that deletion of articles is at the discretion of the individual admin, and if people disagree, he should be de-admined rather than blocked.
With the extra power of sysophood comes extra responsibility; however if you abuse it you should simply lose the extra responsibility rather than being banned altogether.

You are talking of jcb I presume...
An admin can unblock himself (as many of us discovered when we tried to block ourselves in the middle of a heavy wikistress crisis), so blocking an admin will not solve anything.
Oscar made a good suggestion in saying you should rather start a procedure for de-admining. Since Jcb seems of good will, I do not think it is necessary to de-admin him temporarily. I do not think you have the right to ban him.
Imho, mostly, it seems there is a technical issue and you should talk with a developer about it. Can you show previous numbers of articles ?
Please do not start a war with Mark on the issue :-( Oscar is probably ready to help you as a neutral party on ia. If he does not have the time, just ask if anyone else could help you figure out the mess...
