Worl, "appeals court" is pretty slim.  I don't think we *need* an 
appeals court on Wikipedia, frankly.  Not unless instruction creep 
becomes a lot creepier ...

I know I've had to change my vote from "delete" to "keep" (or, on one 
memorable occasion, "merge with existing article on this person") from 
time-to-time.  Not often, it's true, but often enough, as an article is 
rewritten, or new information slinks out from under the bed.  What 
happens if this information pops up a few days and/or weeks too late for 
me to change my vote?  For everyone to change their votes?

It's time for undeletion then, innit?

Cheers,
