Question: What is the policy on re-asking a question?

I asked a question a while ago

https://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/235734-How-Can-The-Functional-Derivativevariation

Which did not get any immediate responses but one late one which i had replied to, but nothing else since then. 

Is it appropriate to delete and repost and try to get more responses/exposure and see if anyone else has any ideas? 

Since @ecterrab is the one who responded I consider this an interesting problem that I would like to continue discussing.
