The result was keep. — Aitias // discussion 13:35, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is renomination of an article that I previously deleted. As I mentioned in my close of the previous AfD, I felt that the lack of reliable sources was incompatable with this article. My deletion has been second-guessed by myself and at least a couple of others. Based on the foregoing I have decided to restore the article, and relist it here. I also will notify the participants in the past discussion. Futaba Channel is certainly a significant part of internet culture, being a precursor to 2chan and 4chan, as well as helping spawn the OS-tans, and our own WP:Wikipe-tan. Also, a large number of articles link to this one. So, the question I put to you is are these factors (or any others that may come up) enough to justify ignoring the lack of reliable sources?
