That's pretty much the rule Jimbo declared and the ArbCom and really quite a lot of the admins work to, yes. As I said, BLP beats DRV.
Back to the problem: as an admin, you say [[Joe Szilagyi]] is a BLP vio. Nuke it. Admin Bob says, "No, it wasn't a BLP vio. I will DRV this." He does. 10 people say, "Overturn. No BLP issues. Sourcing good." You and two others say, "BLP vio. Closing as endorsed deletion."
Who is right? Why is your interpretation of BLP more valid than Bob's? If DRV is not a valid place to decide if [[Joe Szilagyi]] is a BLP vio, where is? Who gets to play Solomon? ArbCom? ANI? You? Bob?

If an article has been deleted as a BLP violation a DRV is inappropriate. The appropriate venue is dispute resolution. The article stays deleted until there is an Arbitration Committee to the contrary.
