Speedy deletion nomination declined

I have declined the speedy deletion nomination of Preston Hazard (Musician), because the earlier deletion wasn't the outcome of a deletion discussion. This doesn't imply any opinion either way on whether the article should be deleted; it merely means that it doesn't qualify under that particular deletion criterion.

@JBW: Ah OK, thanks for letting me know. Note that there were also sockpuppetry issues with the original Preston Hazard, and the new one is identical to the cached original. 2A01:4C8:A1:F08E:BD9A:CCD7:C7BA:DDA6 (talk) 20:18, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I didn't look at the history, just saw enough to know that G4 didn't apply. In view of what you've now told me, I'll have a look at it now. JBW (talk) 20:22, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have now deleted the article for completely different reasons, but a version remains in draft space. I have also seen enough to encourage me to think it worthwhile to keep an eye open for sock evidence. However, the article wasn't identical, or even nearly identical, to the deleted versions of the article, so the cached version you refer to must come from somewhere else. Can you give me a link to that cached version? JBW (talk) 21:01, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is the mirror I was using for comparison: [1], updated 18 June. 2A01:4C8:A1:F08E:BD9A:CCD7:C7BA:DDA6 (talk) 21:20, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. However, that isn't a copy of the original article, which was deleted in 2017. It's a copy of Draft:Preston Hazard, which was created in July 2020, and copied to Preston Hazard (Musician) in August 2021, and is not at all the same as the deleted article. I do suspect that the account which created it may be another sockpuppet of the editor who created the original, though. JBW (talk) 08:53, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see my mistake now, thanks: should have checked the edit history provided on that mirror. 2A01:4C8:A1:F08E:BD9A:CCD7:C7BA:DDA6 (talk) 09:01, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, yeah maybe I should. 2A01:4C8:A1:F08E:BD9A:CCD7:C7BA:DDA6 (talk) 09:13, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
