I have never objected to anything you have removed from VfD. However, if you delisted a page when there were still strong feelings that the page ought to be deleted, then I may feel inclined to relist it in order to prevent people feeling their views were being ignored.

I don't object to that idea, but is removing things from VfD really that important? If someone has mistakenly listed something, then perhaps seeing the comments that people make regarding why the page should be kept will teach them something. Pages which are listed wrongly are can serve some role in developing ideas about what is regarded as suitable.
