In my experience, one common use of VfU is for authors of deleted articles 
to immediately try to get their article undeleted, even though the article 
has been subjected to vigorous discussion and debate, and a clear consensus 
of Wikipedia editors is that the article should be deleted *on policy 
grounds* (e.g. consists solely of original research, is a neologism, etc.).
