"significance".
But that's how it works. Because people get het up in discussions, it
tends to be forgotten that a deletion is only supposed to have effect
for 6 months.
A deletion has effect for as long as concensus remains the same. There
are some vague guidelines on how long to wait between deletion
debates, but if there is a good reason to think consensus will have
changed (eg. due to new sources being published), then I'm not aware
of any rules saying you have to wait 6 months before you can re-create
the article.
