That isn't a very nice way to talk about inclusionists.
You're confusing DRV with VfU. VfU was the very nice page we used to have where deletions could be contested. DRV is what happened when the deletionists got mad that VFU was being used to give articles a "second chance," and so they overwhelmed all sense and made it so that you couldn't undelete an article on the grounds that the outcome was idiotic.
Unfortunately, this didn't actually put an end to AfD coming to idiotic conclusions, leaving us without a good mechanism in place to deal with that - a particular problem considering the continued belief of some AfD regulars that AfDs that close "delete" all mean "and salt the earth so that this article may never rise again."
