So, what are
you saying, that you disagree with the arb com decision?
If so, hey, I do too, but as long as people are getting desysopped for
restoring controversial out-of-process speedy deletions I think you're
going to have a tough time convincing admins to do so without a
deletion review.
Just as there is a difference between reverting an edit to an article
and edit warring, there is a difference between undeleting an article
that's just been deleted and wheel warring. From my memory of the
arbcom decision, only admins which deleted or undeleted more than once
were desysoped.
Yes, there's a difference, but according to the arb com both are
wrong: at least one admin who only undeleted the article once was
"strongly cautioned", and the text I quoted says that DRV is supposed
to be used for controversial out-of-process speedy deletions.
Incidently, the arb com decision also acknowledges temporary
undeletion as a valid though optional part of deletion review.
