Original research atarted from a [http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1229919 single humorous artcle. Coincidentally it was created by a single-purpose account soon after the joke was published. There is no more siignificant references beyond wp mirrors and blogs. The previous AfD was closed kept as "well referenced" because the voters-keepers failed to notice that only one of these discusses the subject. The rest are various references to independent jokes about picofurlongs, microfortnights and the likes, none of which notices that they may be collected into a FFF system.

  • Keep per the reasons in the past AfD (which had a very clear "keep" consensus), and the multiple references in the article. Both the FFF system as a whole and the units within it (microfortnight, furlong per fortnight, etc.) are notable (either would be sufficient to keep the article). The FFF system is not a joke, but an illustration used in multiple textbooks. The nom has failed to do a proper WP:BEFORE. -- 101.117.31.220 (talk) 08:18, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
