Need an archive flag removed
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 11 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.
The guide I need the archived flag removed from can be found here: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Laptop+Linu...
Is this a good question?

Nick, the only thing I see that I can change is the "in progress" designation.

I understand. I can't remove it, so I'm hoping it can be removed or I will have to consider moving the content to a new guide without it and abandoning this specific link. It never got a lot of lifetime views since I didn't do much with it (423 total as of 6/10/17) so I don't think a lot of users have a link saved. I don't think link disruption will be as much of an issue with this as it was with the Photosmart printhead guide.
I'd prefer to not have to do that since that will be annoying, but it's an option. It won't be as bad now that I'm more or less finished with the text and everything isready to go, but it's still something I didn't plan on doing. I reused the old link because I figured this wouldn't be an issue.
