Did the administrator* give weight to something to which he shouldn't have given weight?
Did the administrator omit to give weight to something to which he should have?
Did the administrator arrive at a decision so irrational that no reasonable administrator could have arrived at it?
*I am assuming for simplicity the person who deleted the page or closed the discussion is an administrator, although I am sure there is some corner case by which a non-administrator might be involved. The masculine should be construed as referring to both genders.
When the answer is no to all three, I will endorse the deletion.
I sometimes ask a follow-up question on a certain matter to the DRV nominator. When such a question is unanswered I will assume that the nominator has abandoned his request and will endorse the outcome by default.
