This is now done via the existing AfD template.

If it's done now, the issue could and should get closed. However, the current AfD template at the top of the articles is way too long and contains too many links:

Instead of:

This article was considered for deletion at Wikipedia on September 11 2022. This is a backup of Wikipedia:Academic_research_about_UFOs_and_related_phenomena. All of its AfDs can be found at Wikipedia:Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Academic_research_about_UFOs_and_related_phenomena, the first at Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Academic_research_about_UFOs_and_related_phenomena. If the page name here has changed, please see Wikipedia:Academic research about UFOs and related phenomena, Wikipedia:Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Academic research about UFOs and related phenomena, and Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Academic research about UFOs and related phenomena instead. Purge

I'd suggest something like:

This article was considered for deletion at Wikipedia on September 11 2022. This is a backup of this deleted article. The latest AfD can be found here (other AfDs can be found here). Purge
