He's already been deleted following a VfD vote.
If we were to follow both the policy that if
something is deleted via a
VfD then a new article about it should never be
created, and also the
policy that VfD is a quality-control mechanism (as
you suggest in your
other posting sent around the same time as this
one), this would lead to
some articles being declared forever uncreatable
simply because the
first attempt to make it was unmitigatedly bad even
if there's a
legitimate interest in having an article on that
subject. Since deletion
removes old versions from history entirely I don't
see what the point
would be, they're gone either way.
I never advocated that no article should be created on
this person. I merely reported the situation as it
now stands.
