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.
