A delete via VFD/AFD means in thoery that you have consensus to
delete. Another consenus should be needed to overturn this. Pure admin
descissions should be overtunable by any other admin (at least that is
the position I took back when I was the main inforcer of the 3RR.)

If what you say is correct then we have a problem over at VFU that it
is trying to apply thr same set of standards to two differnt
situations.~~~~
