"Requirement" to use AfC?

@Thriley, إيان, and Pppery:, I'm wondering why there's some effort to enforce AfC on this article, which is substantially different from the article deleted a year ago? As far as I know there is no requirement for an article to go through AfC, even if it has been deleted in the past. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:34, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it seems entirely tedious and unnecessary. إيان (talk) 15:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I've been burned a few times for bypassing AfC after deletion. Wanted to go by the perceived book. Thriley (talk) 15:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be honest, I have no idea how I came to draftify and apparently subsequently watchlist this as I didn't close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drop Site News. I haven't dug deeply into this to know whether I'd !vote to retain at an AfD, but I certainly don't see a reason to nominate it. It's not a G4 and we have established editors involved in its creation, so there's no reason to force AfC. Star Mississippi 01:20, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
