TechInfoDepot:Deletion review/Discussions

Instructions
Before listing a review request, please:
 * 1) discuss the matter with the closing administrator and try to resolve it with him or her first.  If you and the admin cannot work out a satisfactory solution, only then should you bring the matter before Deletion review. See.
 * 2) please check that it is not on the list of perennial requests.  Repeated requests every time some new, tiny snippet appears on the web have a tendency to be counter-productive.  It is almost always best to play the waiting game unless you can decisively overcome the issues identified at deletion.

Commenting in a deletion review
In the deletion review discussion, please:
 * Endorse the original closing decision; or
 * Relist on the relevant deletion forum (usually Articles for deletion); or
 * List, if the page was speedy deleted outside of the established criteria and you believe it needs a full discussion at the appropriate forum to decide if it should be deleted; or
 * Overturn the original decision and optionally an (action) per the Guide to deletion. For a keep decision, the default action associated with overturning is delete and vice versa. If an editor desires some action other than the default, they should make this clear.

Remember that Deletion Review is not an opportunity to (re-)express your opinion on the content in question. It is an opportunity to correct errors in process (in the absence of significant new information), and thus the action specified should be the editor's feeling of the correct interpretation of the debate.

The presentation of new information about the content should be prefaced by Relist, rather than Overturn and (action). This information can then be more fully evaluated in its proper deletion discussion forum.

Temporary undeletion
Admins participating in deletion reviews are routinely requested to restore deleted pages under review and replace the content with the template, leaving the history for review by non-admins. However, copyright violations and violations of the policy on biographies of living persons should not be restored.

Closing reviews
A nominated page should remain on deletion review for at least seven days. After seven days, an administrator will determine whether a consensus exists. If that consensus is to undelete, the admin should follow the instructions at TechInfoDepot:Deletion process. If the consensus was to relist, the page should be relisted at the appropriate forum. If the consensus was that the deletion was endorsed, the discussion should be closed with the consensus documented. If the administrator finds that there is no consensus in the deletion review, then in most cases this has the same effect as endorsing the decision being appealed. However, in some cases, it may be more appropriate to treat a finding of "no consensus" as equivalent to a "relist"; admins may use their discretion to determine which outcome is more appropriate. Deletion review discussions may also be extended by relisting them to the newest DRV log page, if the closing admin thinks that consensus may yet be achieved by more discussion.
