I agree, DRV is making it quite hard to get valid stuff undeleted, but
if one allows just two people to agree on stuff like this I expect a
lot of deletion wars. Addressing people ignoring the need to undelete
when new evidence is presented in DRV seems more useful to me. Have
you got any particular case in mind?
