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 policyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy. 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 policyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Undeletion_policy.
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 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.
