I'm not so sure about that. Wouldn't it just attract people unhappy
with the result piling up votes and requesting a recount of the
original result? Having stuff undeleted isn't a bad thing, as long as
there's a proper reason behind overruling the original AFD debate (new
info, faulty closure, or lots of blanket votes).
