How wrong is it for an admin to undelete a page?
Also, are we trying to get rid of all "list" pages?

Outside of process, it's not so good.
Not that I'm aware of.
Minor followup:
As I understand it...
Undeleting outside process depends somewhat on what it was deleted by; if it was AFDed, then DRV; if it was speedied I've seen people just put them back (with the usual "please contact the removing admin to inform them about your good reason" etc caveat), but DRV works too. If it was PRODed, then I don't know; most of those seem to uncontroversially stay dead. DRV is almost certainly never the wrong answer, but under some circumstances may not be required.
