This argument is supposed to be countered by the guidance at 
[[Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators]], namely first that 
admins be "be as impartial as is possible" and then that "When in doubt, 
don't delete."

If there are no arguments to weigh, then the admin should refer frist to 
existing guidelines and policy, and use that as the determining factor, 
and if that does not aid, then a decision of no consensus is entered or 
the admin relists for a further five days and expresses the reasons why 
it has been relisted, calling for arguments to be made.
