+## Deleted Patch
+
+If someone has sent you a pull request on GitHub, but then deleted their original fork, you will be unable to clone their commits or to use `git am`. In such cases, it is best to manually look at their commits and copy them into a new branch on your local. Then, commit.
+
+After commiting, change the author of the previous commit. To do this, see how to [change author](#commit-wrong-author). Then, apply whatever changes needed on to, and make a new pull request.
