If a spam bot keeps recreating a certain page:
* Protect the page for a few months from IP and new users (if its predicted that genuine new and IP users will most likely not edit the page)
* Write a hidden comment in the page, save and protect the page for a few months from IP and new users (if its predicted that genuine new and IP users will most likely not edit the page)
* Delete the page
 
The protection will still be in place even though the page has been deleted.
Use [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]] to blacklist URL's from persistent spammers.
