TechInfoDepot:Deletion review/Purpose

Deletion Review may be used:


 * 1) if someone believes the closer of a deletion discussion interpreted the consensus incorrectly,
 * 2) if a speedy deletion was done outside of the criteria or is otherwise disputed,
 * 3) if significant new information has come to light since a deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page,
 * 4) to have the history of a deleted page restored behind a new, improved version of the page (called a history-only undeletion),
 * 5) if a page has been wrongly deleted with no way to tell what exactly was deleted, or
 * 6) if there were a substantive procedural error(s) in the deletion discussion or speedy deletion.

Deletion Review should not be used:


 * 1) because of a disagreement with the deletion discussion's outcome that does not involve the closer's judgment,
 * 2) to point out other pages that have not been deleted (as each page is different and stands or falls on its own merits),
 * 3) to challenge an article's deletion via the proposed deletion process (please go to TechInfoDepot:Requests for undeletion to challenge these),
 * 4) to request that previously deleted content be used on other pages (please go to TechInfoDepot:Requests for undeletion for these requests), or
 * 5) to attack other editors, cast aspersions, or make accusations of bias (such requests may be speedily closed).
