User:Rossami/Analysis of undeletions

A question was recently posed about the degree to which speedy-deletion are challenged and summarily restored without recourse to WP:DRV.

The following analysis sorts the most recent undeletions by reason. The analysis started at 14 Nov 2008 03:00 UTC and worked backwards until I got tired. Note: In order to get this list of undeletions, I had to sort through 6500 deletions. Clearly, the vast majority of deletions are uncontroversial and stay deleted.

These show up in the log as "restored" without ever having been deleted. Don't have a clue how that could happen...
