This wiki has the rule that pages that have been deleted cannot be re-created without the permission of an admin, regardless of whether it is unlocked or not. When you try to remake a deleted page, a small window pops up showing you that it has been deleted before.

I have not been part of the discussion neither then nor now, so my opinion on Patrick did not factor into the decision. Nonetheless, I guess the decision can be explained by Patrick generally being seen as the stupid sidekick, not a villainous character and the fact that mostly, the episodes are self-contained and do not have any overreaching storyline. In most comedy series, characters have episodes in which they are portrayed as villains but this is mostly episodic. However, I have not seen the recent seasons of SpongeBob so I wouldn't know how Patrick has evolved in these seasons.
