Freefall (webcomic)

Freefall (webcomic) (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore)

The initial request for undeletion was submitted on October 3. The ensuing discussion can be seen here. Essentially, it was suggested I discuss this with the admin who initiated the original deletion of the article in question. I posted the request to his page, and this request can be seen here. There has been no response in over three weeks, which I am not criticizing; we all have our own reasons for not keeping up with Misplaced Pages. Nonetheless, I feel this is sufficient time to move forward and request that this process be forwarded to the next stage, bypassing Stifle's authorization and opening an actual discussion on undeleting the Misplaced Pages article Freefall (webcomic). I'm placing this back into contention for undeletion one more time, using this as my justification:

"If you are not a fan of Freefall you ought to be. Alas, it really will involve some time because it is a serial story, and the current panels are shocking — that is, they have a total surprise that I do not think many readers saw coming...The story is well developed and very logically constructed. I’d like to see it win a Hugo. It’s really good." -- Dr. Jerry Pournelle, March 2, 2014, http://www.jerrypournelle.com/chaosmanor/forced-sale-of-crimea-learning-math-prince-igor-and-the-hearing-log-continues/

  • Comment the article was deleted due to not being sourced. I think the Pournelle article could be used as a source, Are there any other reliable third party sources? Do you really want the old article restored? Often it's better to start from scratch. If you really do want it restored, then you might get a better response by asking for it to be userfied, resolving the sourcing issue and then getting it moved to mainspace (though of course it could still be AFD'd again) --86.2.216.5 (talk) 21:07, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Maybe this will help:
