Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shaurya Doval
and '''Comments''': I am sure it has happened but the first instance I have seen. What is the protocol here? The article doesn't belong, being turned down 4 times, but somehow was created "almost" identically (apparently the citations are the same just placed differently) to the ones rejected. It appears there must have been some collaboration to get an article created regardless of accepted community practices. Is there a "speedy" criteria so should this be brought to the attention of an admin? If no speedy criteria is there other reasoning this can be dealt with by an admin as a breach of accepted community practices or possible "socking"? Was the circumvention successful so we must go through the deletion process and possibly seek |salting that can be just as easily circumvented? If an SPA (or anyone) removes a template without justification they should be warned but notability is certainly questioned with an AFD. "IF" consensus is still a deciding factor then there is currently two "delete" WP:!vote|!votes, one "comment" and two involved editors that have not yet weighed in on the matter. However, it does seem there would be a way to prevent this from happening, or needs to be, else creativity has found a loophole that can be used in the future
