"Overthrow" seems like a drastic term in
these circumstances. Why
should a desire to undelete something be seen as an attack on their
judgement? Things have gone too far when the deleters take a simple
request to undelete as a serious criticism of their personal judgement.
It's as though they are insisting that they are never wrong.
It's the Assumption of Bad Faith. MGM, can you see that it looks like a
gross Assumption of Bad Faith?

Because I don't think that one would be enough,
particularly if that one
is not an admin. Having a second person agree gives a little room for a
reality check.
I hereby declare that I will make deleted content (apart from copyvios
etc) available for reading. Of course, using it to recreate the deleted
content is speedyable, and using it to keep it hanging around in your
userspace may get you penalised as Anthony was for doing so. But that's
what you do with it afterwards.
