The result was speedy delete. No, seriously, whilst G4 is re-creation of deleted material, I think we can safely say that a markedly worse version of the deleted material is speediable. Also the new version was a completely unsourced BLP ("X is a Christian apologist")? No. If this person is truly notable, it should be possible to write an article proving that is the case (probably using the far superior originally deleted version).

Procedural nomination. A previous version of this article (administrators only, sorry; if anyone wants to see the old version I will temporarily recreate it in my userspace) was deleted through consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicholas Beale (3rd nomination). A couple months later the article was recreated by the single-purpose account User:Jmt007. The re-created version was significantly worse than the deleted version and did not address any of the reasons for deletion—as you can see, the new version is almost entirely unreferenced (of the two "references" supplied, one is Beale's own book) and contains no third-party, independent coverage of this individual. I speedily deleted it as re-creation of deleted content, and since then User:NBeale, who also happens to be the article subject, has been bugging me asking to have it re-created because the version I deleted wasn't "identical" (which is correct--compared to the older version, this version is a crock). So I'm bringing it back to AfD. rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 21:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC) reply
