Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion/Deletion review proposal

This proposal has passed, and been added to WP:VFU

The scope of VfU
This proposal is to expand the scope of Votes for Undeletion to include disputed non-delete closures.

It is thus proposed to change the name from Votes for Undeletion to Deletion Review, and to describe the purpose of this new process page as follows:
 * This box is intended to be placed on the VfU main page (where, in fact, it has already been for some time without being active, but without objection). It will also necessarily amend Undeletion policy, but is not intended to contract the scope from what it is at present, simply to apply it equally to both deletions and non-deletion.
 * This proposal does not affect history-only or temporary undeletions at all.
 * This part of the proposal has already received support here.

The mechanics of Deletion Review
Given the new nature of Deletion Review, a new means of operating it is proposed. Currently, VfU is majoritarian, and an article may be undeleted if a simple majority think it should be. See Undeletion policy. It is proposed to amend Undeletion policy to incorporate the following scheme:

The intent is to, without reducing Wikipedia to a simple democracy, provide a route for some action if most people are concerned about process, and a route for correctional action if a significant proportion of people mandate it. The clarity in the numbers is intended to prevent Deletion Review having the same interpretation disputes that will bring debates to the process in the first place. In the extremely rare case that the closer has brazenly miscounted, the proper remedy is WP:AN/I.


 * Discussion, as usual, on the talk page.
