As far as I'm concerned, this is a straight-forward G4 speedy delete candidate, but G4 has been declined twice, the first time because the AFD link was hard to find, the second time for reasons that are obscure to me. The previous AFD is here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joel W. Gonzales, a copy of the deleted article is here (you'll note that it is substantially identical to the current version, as G4 requires). See also the AFC which was declined. The AFD was only a week ago, I don't know why this article has lasted more than a minute. Hairhorn (talk) 02:51, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete I can't really say any more than I did when IM declined the AfC. Same article, new title- take it to DRV, instead of recreating with a new title. (Full disclosure- since I declined the AfC, and nominated the last AfD, the admin closing this one should feel free to ignore my comments). Bradjamesbrown (talk) 07:36, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete A perfectly straightforward G4: "It was previously deleted via a deletion discussion, is substantially identical to the deleted version, and any changes do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted." What more needs to be said? I am puzzled by the reason given for declining the 2nd speedy deletion proposal: "Not valid candidate for speedy delete. Subject seems to meet Wikipedia eligibility standards. Bring up for AfD if wish." That might be a reasonable answer for a {{db-person}}, but not for a {{g4}}. Was it perhaps done in haste by an administrator who had not read the speedy deletion notice carefully enough? Joel W Gonzales has been deleted 7 times, Joel William Gonzales 5 times, and Joel W. Gonzales once. This article is the same except for the name, including having the same biographical details, a photograph of the same person, several links to sites with the name "Joel William Gonzales" (not "Lil Mirkk"), etc etc. There are also abdundant sorces indicating that "Lil Mirkk" is another name used by Joel Gonzales, for example here, here, etc etc. As clear a speedy delete as I ever saw.
