This was not listed as a reason for the block, and the block happened
2 days after the last notice was put on the page (by someone else, of
the DRV).

I fail to see what the proximate cause was of the block.  Using the
page (after it had been MFD and during DRV, when it had relatively
respected defenders) as an excuse seems poor judgement.

I agree that if the page was disruptive it should be subject to
deletion policy etc, but if it was so disruptive that it warranted
invoking the Arbcom probation, someone should have said so at the
time.
