AfD has nothing to do with merging, though, except that it's often recommended as part of a keep vote for something to do with the article after its AfD listing is finished. Anyone can merge an article any time without going to AfD to get "permission" about it. I've merged plenty of articles myself that way.
The logical conclusion of this is that merge votes are actually votes to keep. That is not true. Neither are they votes to delete. They are votes to merge, and neither side may claim them as their own.
If we have to have sides, which it seems we do.
