[WikiEN-l] VFU is utterly beyond hope

VFU should concern the content of the article. You can't decide
whether the article was right- or wrongfully deleted without actually
looking at it. And additional evidence that a subject is worth an
article that was not discussed in the AFD should be reason to rethink
the initial deletion debate.

As I said it before. An AFD closure may be totally correct at the
time, but VFU also concerns articles when situations have changed.
"The Jar" webcomic is a good example. It was deleted for lack of
notability because no one could find any information to verify the
info in the article.

If someone comes in with information from the Wayback Machine Internet
archive showing it was a popular comic when it was still active that
should b enough info to argue an undeletion even when the AFD was
correctly closed at the time.

I think VFU should be used to reconsider deletions when certain
important info was not included in the final judgement. That's why the
justification is so important.
