[WikiEN-l] Different DRV threshold for speedy deletions?

[Christopher G. Parham]

According to     [[WP:DRV]], 50% would be enough to overturn a speedy 
deletion and send it back to the relevant *FD:

"If there is neither a majority to endorse the decision nor a 
three-quarters supermajority to overturn and apply some other result, 
the article is *relisted* on the relevant deletion process."
