Looks like you may have tagged this for deletion and it appears to be an almost immediate a recreation. I'll let you decide what to do with it. We need to think of what can be done in the software to improve the processing of issues like these.

I had it on my watchlist, so I would have followed up in the morning if necessary. I found it was a duplicate of declined
Draft:Newport, and I tagged it for G10 as an experiment - not sure if that applies when the duplicate is a draft (admin discretion?). The recreation was moved to draft by someone else, so now there are two drafts, which is what I was trying to avoid. It was recreated a third time and then G11'd. A typical case of someone ignoring being told their article doesn't qualify. Yes, we should talk about this.

Got any suggestions? It would probably need a software solution unless a friendly admin would salt things like this. Even salting doesn't always work due to obvious workarounds.

Most of these are probably caught quickly by our crack NPPers. But I'm sure more could be done. I watch the daily update to
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Disambiguation/Article_alerts (I have been involved with dabs since way before NPP). What about a bot that looked at every article CSD over a time period (perhaps a week) and listed articles created by the same author (since the deletion), or a title match or near-match by any author. It wouldn't prevent the immediate recreations, but it might cause some issues to be noticed sooner or not fall through the cracks.
