Recreated after speedy. Mostly the same content. Mikeblas (talk) 03:14, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

G4 Speedy Delete. (I also have a hunch that the article creator is a sock of the first version's creator, who, until today, had stopped editing after I "outed" him during the last AfD discussion.) Pax 09:48, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Can't speedy after previous speedy content recreated, I'm afraid. (Or do I not understand it right?) -- Mikeblas (talk) 13:51, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's an odd policy(?). Every recreated spam page would get to sit around for 21 days during subsequent AfDs. Pax 16:41, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:G4 says "This criterion also excludes content undeleted via deletion review, or which was deleted via proposed deletion or speedy deletion (although in that case the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy criteria, may apply)." I guess that's a double-exclusion. That is, spam speedy, then recreate, then recreation doesn't apply -- but spam still does? -- Mikeblas (talk) 02:00, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reading between the parentheses: "...in that case the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy criteria, may apply)..." My interpretation of "may apply" equals "may be valid" (criteria for re-deletion), so let's tag-n-bag it. Pax 06:23, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me! -- Mikeblas (talk) 13:14, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
