That's not instruction creep! That's [[scope creep]].

I added a note about how not to get an ulcer from the broken DRV:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ADeletion_review&diff=31123430&oldid=31112389
Splash added a mild threat:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Deletion_review&diff=next&oldid=31123430
DS1953 removed it:

Splash replaced it by rollback:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Deletion_review&diff=next&oldid=31125009
Titoxd removed both as "flammable materials":

DRV regulars appear convinced it is a fiefdom unto itself, with only a
passing consideration at best of writing an encyclopedia rather than
fetishisation of process. If there's more than me with the notice on
their user pages about undeletion for viewing, it would be worth
listing a bunch at a time per my original notice.
