Perhaps this page should have some mention of renominating, for example under WP:DRVPURPOSE it could read "Deletion Review should not be used: to renominate an article for deletion" and have a link to WP:RENOM or something like that. I mention this only because I ended up here trying to find the policy on renominating an article and it took me awhile to realize I was in the wrong place! --NoGhost (talk) 09:38, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
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 (see Wikipedia:Renominating for deletion);?
Wikipedia:Deletion review § Steps to list a new deletion review step 1 states "Before listing a review request please attempt to discuss the matter with the closing admin as this could resolve the matter more quickly." I think we should change this to "Before listing a review request please attempt to discuss the matter with the closer as this could resolve the matter more quickly." I see no reason why an attempt to discuss the matter with the closer shouldn't take place before a deletion review regardless of whether or not they're an administrator (unless it is repealed altogether). Step 4 already states "Inform the administrator who deleted the page, or the user who closed the deletion discussion". — Godsy (TALKCONT) 07:03, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
Before listing a deletion discussion here, attempt conversation about it with the closer on their talk page. They may clarify, amend their closure, or reopen and possibly relist the discussion, negating misunderstanding, making a review unnecessary. If unsuccessful, link it in the listing if proceeding.? — Godsy (TALKCONT) 07:18, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
