I question whether it would be appropriate to permit certification of the uncertified and deleted RfC just because it was moved to both parties' userspace subsequent to deletion.  This would seem to go against the boldly emphasized 48 hour limit.  I think a new RfC ought to be created if it is going to be pursued, with citations to attempts to deal with the problem occurring after the deletion of the uncertified RfC.  I think cutting and pasting from the prior RfC could be allowable, though the policy is silent on that point.  I note this not as an attempt to be obstructive, since I think it would be possible to find support for an RfC on either user.  I also note that any attempts to describe the failure to certify the last RfC as an oversight are disingenuous, since the fact that it had not been certified had been noted on both the Project and Discussion pages of this RfC in some detail.
