Bollocks it's verboten to speedy merge. Anyone who thinks it is has a bad case of process over product and is inappropriately asserting the supremacy of AFD over writing an encyclopedia.
Wholly agreed. Although I know already that merges have been undone for entirely that reason. I'm surprised nobody has an issue with anyone making any edits to a AFD'd article.

From my past experience with VfD (in other words, pre-AFD), people always get very very pissed when an article is merged and redirected if it is on VfD or already had been on VfD and kept. For some reason, people seem to think VfD/AFD is the final word on what an article's status should be. Perhaps in a simple black and white, delete or keep world it is. But in a world where there are shades of grey such as merge & redirect, this position is illogical.
