Show me where policy says admins can go against a consensus to keep or delete.
Policy and practice and diverge when there isn't the cultural norms to support policy. Given current practice, not only can admins go against a current consensus, but users also can, as 172 did on the VfD for Category:Totalitarian Dictators
If we have a culture where do many people think that policy is for others, and that they occasionally know a better and more efficient way, then perhaps we get what we have.
