What criteria for deadminning are you thinking of? "Unpopular for deleting 1000 fair-abuse images" or something that'll be usable for that shouldn't be amongst them, for instance.
The same at the criteria for a block. Violating policy. When such a violation requires action and what action is required should be at the discretion of the crat, just as it's at the discretion of the admin for blocks.
The criterion for a block is actually preventing damage - not punishment, which is why mere past policy violation isn't reason for a block and blocks for old 3RRs are ill-favoured.
So presumably de-adminning would also be for prevention of damage.
Examples would be useful as well, so we aren't talking entirely in the abstract. Probably with names removed.
