Should I re-ask a question if I have edited it beyond recognition?

My question has a massive edit history, as I struggled to explain my idea (making this, yes... I know...) and how it was different from the proposed duplicate.

Since editing my question to clearly explain my idea, I realised that what I have now as a question that barely qualifies as the same thing as my original post.

The question, because of the down-votes, will likely disappear within 30 days. Should I:

  • Delete my question, and ask it again with much better explanation and clarity, like an improved version of my most recent edit?
  • Leave the question for 20+ days for the question to be deleted, then re-ask with improved clarity at a later date?
  • Re-post on Discuss Area 51, where it might be better suited?
  • Leave the idea, and stop asking about it?
