tempundelete vs. drv
I'm newly interested in DRVs, and wonder if there is any difference in usage of the above two templates? If so, it should be clarified in the instructions about temporary undeletion, and if not, they could probably be merged (although I'm even less experienced with TfD!) Thanks for enlightening me. :) ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  00:35, 14 December 2013 (UTC)


 * They are used or two different things. The first is for where the article was deleted and that's being reviewed. The article is replaced entirely by the template as the article remains "deleted" throughout the process. The other is used when the article was kept and the template is added - hence the instructions about editing, not blanking the page etc. which would be inappropriate for deleted articles. --5.152.198.170 (talk) 13:16, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That does make sense. I guess "Deletion Review" is misnomer in regards to contested AfD closes where the result was not delete... ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  13:59, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * IMO it's essentially a shortening for "Deletion process review". Armbrust The Homunculus 12:27, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

may be useful where consensus was to merge and there were few participants in the deletion discussion. For the specific case which led to this, please refer to the following: As I've noted on my talk page, the last time I remember taking a merge to DRV I was directed to the article talk page.

Shoot the template down, discuss it or amend it, according to consensus. Cheers. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 15:51, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
