You can always write an article from scratch. If the assholes speedy it 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.
In practice a completely new article may get a little opposition, but it isn't at all speediable and if speedied can be unilaterally undeleted. Another strategy is to merge the information into another article and recreate as a redirect. That would be impossible to misrepresent as a recreation.
