For a start admins shouldn't be afraid to follow concensus rather than the
voting majority. If, for example, someone bolds delete, but indicates
they're happy with a merge, there should be no reason that comment can't be
used to support a merge decision.
In fact I see this happen quite often. People are ambiguous about what they
want, yet they seem to only bold one of the two extremes: keep or delete. As
if any sort of middle way can't be discussed.

Yes, certainly a miraculous transformation of attitudes surrounding

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a
boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.
