[WikiEN-l] OK, so DRV *is* broken

Well, actually, if you look at WP:UNDEL, the policy actually states
that undeletions may be requested if you think Wikipedia would be
better off with the article than without it, which seems quite content
based to me. The page that is specified as the place to put undeletion
requests for all of the listed reasons is WP:DRV, so I think that DRV
is actually supposed to consider content-based reasons for undeletion.

Sincerely,
Silas Snider
