User:Splash/Deletion Review

This is a proposal to rename Votes for undeletion to Deletion review and to amend its scope to include all kinds of disputed AfD closures rather than just deletions as at present. It does not cover the restoration of speedy deletions except where a non-admin chooses to use the process for that purpose.

The scope of Deletion Review
The following proposal has received considerable support:

Note that none of this affects the existing provisions for temporary undeletion, or for history-only undeletion behind an already-rewritten article.

It remains to determine the mechanics of how the community might express the decisions it reaches in Deletion Review.

Operation
There is a question over whether the process should be loaded to support the closer's decision (whatever it was) or to support undeletion/keeping (whatever the closer's decision was).

These various proposals are intended to replace as appropriate the wording in Undeletion policy, which deals with the outcome of a VfU debate.
