I posted a notice on the talk page of an admin who closed a Deletion Review because there was no notice posted at the original AFD that the closure had been overturned. When I looked into a few other examples, it seems like there is no standard procedure for noting that the closure of an AFD was no longer "in force". So, I came here and looked at Wikipedia:Deletion review#Closing reviews, expecting to see some guidance but, surprise!, it doesn't have any information on what a closure needs to do with an overturned deletion discussion. I wasn't expecting a lack of documentation in a bureaucracy like Wikipedia.
So, am I missing something here? What is a closer supposed to post on an AFD discussion that has been overruled? Should the closure be struck out? A notice posted linking to the Deletion Review? How should a closer indicate that a deletion decision was no longer valid? Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 03:51, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
