The article was kept at Afd just two weeks ago. Albeit a NAC after a withdrawal. However the consensus there was not to delete, with some very detailed explanations as to why. The renomination here is very weak. The nominator offers no explanation as to why we should reopen this again -- or even that he has bothered to read the just-closed Afd. Although I was for merging last time, I say keep, in that sufficient notability was established just last month. I see no valid reason to reopen this.

Speedy keep. The first AFD was closed just two weeks ago, and did show evidence that sufficient sourcing exists to get this over
WP:GNG. Of course, a renomination would be perfectly valid if the nominator could show substantial new evidence of unsuitability not considered in the first discussion, but they haven't done that here — it's hard for me to read the nomination statement as anything more than
WP:IDONTLIKEIT, which is not a valid deletion rationale in and of itself. You don't have to like it, but you do have to respect that a keep consensus was established just two weeks ago and give the article time to get spruced up. If two or three years from now the article still hasn't been improved and all of the sources in the original AFD discussion have become unretrievable deadlinks, then there would be a valid reason to revisit whether it was time to overturn the first AFD. But not just two weeks after the first AFD closes as a keep.
