That depends on whether they claimed there was a violation. If they claim there is a
violation, and you think there was not, follow dispute resolution procedures. Avoid
wheelwarring. If they don't claim there was a Biographies of living persons'
violation then it is just an ordinary dispute where you should participate in discussions
about what to do and see where it goes. If an article does not violate Biographies of
living persons, it reverts to the usual decision process regarding deletion. I should say,
usual awful process. With respect to your own behavior, I think it is probably better to
accept decisions once they are made rather than indefinitely continuing to try to reverse
it.

That's a great message, but fails to answer any questions. for
instance, when articles do not violate BLP, but admins force the
deletions anyway, what happens?
