Need an archive flag removed

Text:

-I have a guide that I made years ago and quickly abandoned (2013), and then waiting ~1 year to make it private and flag it for deletion since I figured it wouldn't be easy to resurrect (2014). The thing is this deletion never happened, so I decided to start working on it again (2015), which took 1 year and 7 months to get it to the point I'm at now (ready for public consumption but it isn't quite there yet). I wish it didn't take so long to finish, but the problem is there was so much junk that never had a chance of working that I thought did. It likely it would have taken longer if I decided to try to retain the original content to a limited extent.

Now that I am at the point where the mistakes were made and the guide is more or less done as far as I'm concerned (with some minor edits that will come along the way) I would like to request the archived flag be removed. If it is decided that removal should wait until I find working hardware (or fix what I have, which shouldn't be hard), I understand.

-Admittedly I probably could have released sooner, but I had to choose between a early release that needs a lot of work to get there or I could taken the time and made it as good as I could so the remaining issues are minor. I also should have at least considered starting with a new link, but once I made substantial progress that no longer made sense.
