Unsourced, minor variant of Zastava M70, proposed merger but failed to attract much attention Buttons (talk) 04:06, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So you should have just merged it yourself with the edit tool. AFD, and the deletion tool, form no part whatsoever of the article merger process. They don't even form a part of the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle that sometimes follows on from such use of the ordinary edit tool. Don't come here when you want an ordinary editorial action taken that you can take yourself. Be bold! AFD, a chronically high-traffic area of the project, has enough traffic to cope with with genuine requests for the use of the actual deletion tool. Only come to Articles for deletion if you want no merger, removal of the content (preventing its use in any other article and precluding merger), and removal of the entire edit history, by the deletion tool.

- Apologies, I wasn't aware I could do that, I presumed only Admins could merg articles. Thanks and regards - Buttons (talk) 08:21, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - In the overall scheme of actually doing this sort of content work, we can do very little more than what you can do. Ordinary editorial stuff like this anyone, even someone without an account, can do. And anyone can undo, if the doing is not seen as an improvement. That's supposed to be the idea. The editing workload is shared by everyone, and tasks are not funnelled through the comparatively small group of people who happen to have some extra tools.

Merge and speedy close as wrong venue. If nobody objected (and they shouldn't, seems like a simple redundantcy to me), then you can use the "move page" link. See WP:MOVE. bahamut0013^words _deeds 21:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
