Due to Pattanaik and Peleg, the input of a decision scheme is
a set of linear orders. So when you define plurality on lone-mark
ballots then plurality isn't even a decision scheme. And when you
define plurality on ranked ballots then plurality clearly fails
Regularity.

Pattanaik and Peleg talk about _adding_ candidates and not about
_deleting_ candidates.
