So really, most of these "non-notability" issues shouldn't ever be brought to VfD in the first place - just merge them into main articles, like that traffic circle case from a few days back, and let the wiki process determine whether the merge was adequate or not. If peoples' beef is really with the _information_ being in Wikipedia, that's also something that can be sorted out via the wiki process - articles get trimmed and streamlined and split into sub-articles all the time without going through a voting process.
That's so true it isn't even funny. It also makes one think if it really would be all that bad if AfD was just shut down for a month like David Gerard proposed. I personally think that merging an article isn't all that more complicated than setting up an AfD, if you see setting up an AfD as more than writing "nn v -~~~~". Your mileage may vary, of course.
