Our Criteria for Speedy Deletion guidelines state that one of the reasons
for speedy deletion is that the article in question is
1. A substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was
deleted according to the deletion
policy<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy>cy>.
Note that:
2. Administrators faced with a recreation of previously speedily
deleted content must determine that it did in fact meet a criterion for
speedy deletion and had been appropriately deleted before they delete it
again; and,
- This does not apply to content in userspace or to content undeleted
according to the undeletion
policy<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Undeletion_policy>cy>.
In other words, an article rewritten to establish notability under the
criteria for Web Comics shouldn't be speedy deleted.

This doesn't make any sense. We need to change the policy if that is
how it works.

You can always write an article from scratch. If

you'll have others on your side to restore it.
No, you can't. If you recreate an article on the same topic as a
previously deleted one, it will be speedied, and VFU won't likely
accept that it was "rewritten" as an excuse.
