People also suggest things like "clean up spelling" or "remove the bright purple tables" or whatever, and those are often good ones too.
The problem being, I can remove the bright purple tables and correct the spelling while the article's still in AFD (if I think it's worth it, I wouldn't do that for a very probable deletion candidate...) What I *can't* do is speedy merge, because it's strictly verboten to mess with the AFD tag. So, I've got to *vote* merge and hope that somebody listens, or I have to revisit the article after the AFD is over (if I don't forget about it).
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.
