Except that's not what happened in this case, and probably many others. De Facto, the process was
1) Somebody says "I don't think this article should be here."
2) We talk about it for a week.
3) Despite there being no votes to delete and clear notability, poof! it's gone.
The "bizarre bureaucratic process" is this:
1) Somebody says "I don't think this article should be here.
2) We talk about it for a week.
3) If, after a week, the consensus is that no, we shouldn't have the article, then it gets deleted. If not, it stays.
That's not bizarre, and it's not particularly bureaucratic. Is it flawed? Absolutely. Do we need to fix it? Sure.
Are you helping things with your rants?
No.
