Deletion of Hard fantasy (2nd nomination)

Comment: https://www.tor.com/2009/01/06/hard-fantasy/ This essay is, I think, reliable, but it is rather essayish. Those are less reliable IMHO https://www.swantower.com/essays/philosophy/hard-fantasy/, with http://bestfantasybooks.com/hard-fantasy.html being the worst. So the sources present are not great. But there are other sources. https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=1rSGNwAACAAJ An entire book (through, granted, looks a bit suspicious, cover-wise, from a minor publisher, no citations, can't find much about the author. But for example https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=7JKw5FYA4GgC&pg=PA191&dq=%22Hard+fantasy%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiaouzRpsbmAhVXy4sBHZy4A3MQ6AEILTAB#v=onepage&q=%22Hard%20fantasy%22%20-wikipedia&f=false is solid, a definition in a reliable work. Some passing but nonetheless helpful mentions in https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=3r6FBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT18&dq=%22Hard+fantasy%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiaouzRpsbmAhVXy4sBHZy4A3MQ6AEINTAC#v=onepage&q=%22Hard%20fantasy%22%20-wikipedia&f=false. Another short def in https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=b65v4hLNMloC&pg=PA64&dq=%22Hard+fantasy%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiaouzRpsbmAhVXy4sBHZy4A3MQ6AEIYTAI#v=onepage&q=%22Hard%20fantasy%22%20-wikipedia&f=false. This is mentioned and possibly discussed at length at https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=OD06AQAAIAAJ&q=%22Hard+fantasy%22+-wikipedia&dq=%22Hard+fantasy%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiaouzRpsbmAhVXy4sBHZy4A3MQ6AEIWzAH (snippet view, not sure). One paragraph discussion in https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=WuOdAwAAQBAJ&lpg=PA45&dq=%22Hard%20fantasy%22%20-wikipedia&pg=PA44#v=onepage&q=%22Hard%20fantasy%22%20-wikipedia&f=false. An entre chapter (arguing this term is incorrect...) can be found in https://hcommons.org/deposits/item/hc:27971/. I can cite more but that should be enough.  fail, sadly, in all prior commenters (and the nom, with whom I often agree, but not this time

Comment: to Fantasy#By theme (subgenres). While there are a couple of references to the termhttps://sanfranciscobookreview.com/quest-hard-fantasy/ and http://sf-encyclopedia.uk/fe.php?nm=hard_fantasy an entry in ''The Encyclopedia of Fantasy'', IMO it's a  that hasn't caught on

Comment: I am done with my rewrite. I think the current article is clearly notable, unlike the OR mess that was nominated. But  was not needed. PS. Closing admin should consider that the delete votes above where cast for the old version of the article and the editors who cast them where pinged about reviewing the new one but seem to have missed or ignored the ping. But the point is their votes are not about the current version of the article, but about the no-longer-existing old one
