Yes. That's an excellent way of putting it, that you are game. Unfortunately you and the other deletionists have quite successfully gamed AfD and DRV on this issue, so I would only be wasting my time and potentially marking myself as a target.

I would note though that DRV was only supposed to be for when deletions did not follow procedure, but (like the Arbcom not making policy or NOR not supposed to apply to brain-dead inferences) this has long since fallen by the wayside.
