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. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
