Keep

 * 1) Right now, the AFD templates aren't suitable for setting up an obvious merge of two articles. This page is also misnamed -- it's more like "articles for discussion". Before deleting the half-decent, try to make this page decent. 08:05, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * If you can't be bothered even giving a reason to delete... Nudescendant (talk) 09:37, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't start this? 15:33, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) People use it all the time, just look at the fossil record it gets used once every 2 days on average.Vorarchivist (talk) 16:17, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 2) Changing position. —ѕυρяємє ℓєα∂єя вιgѕ σf gσαтιѕтαи (ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴏғ ᴡɪsᴅᴏᴍ/ᴀᴄʜɪᴇᴠᴇᴍᴇɴᴛs) 18:15, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 3) Speedy close People do use it. This is just going "oh it's not currently active DELETE DELETE DELETE NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW" like slow use of a page is somehow bad for the site. Nudescendant (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 4) Still used, what are we meant to do with all of the "active" threads on there? People should be allowed to bring merge proposals to the afd though. Christopher (talk) 08:30, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Merge/redirect

 * 1) Nobody uses this. If someone wants to merge articles, they can just present an article for merge instead of delete on AFD. The merge template would remain separate, but still link to its AFD page. We should merge this and its talk page into AFD, but leave the archives alone (they'd be displayed on a template on AFD). —ℓσωℓу ѕуѕσρ вιgℓʝвιgℓ σf gσαтιѕтαи (ᴡᴏʀᴅs ᴏғ ᴡɪsᴅᴏᴍ/ᴀᴄʜɪᴇᴠᴇᴍᴇɴᴛs) 04:03, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
