you'll see a lot of deletion votes that say

in practice, an article may well be deleted and new text with the same name
created there.
My reading of current policy is that we allow only one-sided double
jeopardy, which is a problem.
Articles can be renominated for deletion as many times as is necessary
in order to get them deleted (although it is considered poor form to
renominate soon after the last time it survived).
Conversely there are some (many?) admins that shoot substantially
similar revived articles on sight if they have previously lost (however
marginally) a VfD.
I don't enough about the particular case to comment, but this imbalance
does seem to be logically wrong.
