I don't think there is anything in policy to stop you relisting a deleted article on AFD. could be interesting to try.
I think it would be disruptive to restore a deleted article after an AfD and insist on a rerun of the vote. I've suggested something called deletion challenge, which would be a one-off rerun that could be performed with or without temporary undeletion (the latter to be performed if any admin thinks it is merited). It did not find any favor, however. While I would favor this because it would place the challenge in exactly the same forum inwhich the original vote took place, and would use exactly the same mechanisms but a slightly different decision-making process, there is also something to be said for having a separate review forum.
But something needs to be done about the barrier to undeletion. To be consistent with deletion policy, undeletion should be performed unless there is a consensus to keep deleted. At present there is a majority rule and a quorum.
