By reposting the article under these circumstances, you would be asserting
that (1) you are confident there is no BLP-violating material in the version
of the article you chose to post, and (2) you believe that there has been a
significant change of circumstances (which should be reflected in the
article content) since the prior, extensive AfD/DRV discussion such that the
decision to delete reached at that time is no longer applicable. Unless (1)
is clearly true, you should not post this or any similar deleted BLP article
(see generally, [[RfAr/Badlydrawnjeff]]; [[RfAr/Footnoted quotes]];
[[WP:BLP]]). Unless (2) is clearly true, the appropriate forum to revisit
this issue, if you truly believe it is necessary, would be DRV rather than
article creation.
Although we have not adopted a "BLP opt-out policy," I do not understand why
a user would consider it a significant priority to re-create an article
containing predominently negative coverage about an, at best,
highly-borderline-notable individual who has expressed extreme resentment
regarding the existence of such article.

P.S. Incidentally, however, I'd like you to go back to the Hornbeck/Ownby
deletion discussion and re-read my lengthy comments there. I gave some of
your observations on BLP, but only some, more credit than you probably
remember that I did.
