Merge and delete is not a possible vote. People should not have to vote in such a specific way to prevent vote-hijacking.
*'''Merge''' [[Poisonous influences of fruit]] into [[Kumquat]] and delete. Good content, but it doesn't stand alone well and it's at a misleading title.
Actually, GFDL quite specifically *requires* that if an article is merged into another one, the old title has to be kept as a redirect in order to preserve the edit history.
This is what's meant by "merge and delete is not a possible vote". We can all *imagine* situations where it's the preference we would *want* to express, but that's a moot point: it's quite explicitly not a *permissible* vote under the terms of GFDL.
