The result was ‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__  speedy delete per WP:CSD by User:Cryptic. Per the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion, the rationale for opening a new discussion is incorrect: the language in question does not forbid G4 for previously-speedied pages, as long as they have also had a full AfD, and this one has. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:47, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Page recreated only hours after it was deleted as a result of the previous AfD. Deletion cannot be done via WP:G4 as the page was already speedy-deleted previously, hence the second AfD. Broc (talk) 20:11, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Quick question, 'cos this is a new one for me - where's the rule that a page can't be speedied more than once? I looked, couldn't find... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:53, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Pages can be speedied more than once, but not if they've been tagged as G4, where it says: This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a deletion review, or that was only deleted via proposed deletion (including deletion discussions closed as "soft delete") or speedy deletion. Though it only applies to pages that are tagged under the G4 criterion, and not to other types of speedy criteria. CycloneYoris talk! 05:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * See, I read that as 'if it has only been deleted via speedy and then restored then it can't be G4 but would have to go to AfD' rather than 'If it has ever been speedied and subsequently gone to AfD it can't be speedied again', which seems more logical to me... ie: AfD is sovereign...

 * Delete: Less than a week later? Still nothing notable, found. SALT as well Oaktree b (talk) 21:19, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: Same user Syed Shaveer that's re-created this article again, that was very passionate about the last AfD discussion... Somewhat worrysome. Oaktree b (talk) 21:21, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete Good GRIEF. Delete and SALT with extreme prejudice, fire, silver bullets, garlic. I'd propose blocking the author for disruption, and all. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:46, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt per above. Author should at least be warned for disruptive editing, and to stop recreating pages that have just been deleted. CycloneYoris talk! 05:36, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt, and some sort of remedy against article creator per Alexandermcnabb and CycloneYoris.  Wikishovel (talk) 06:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
