AFDs cannot conclude as a "merge". AFDs are meant to be a binary decision. Something will either end up getting deleted or not. AFDs shouldn't go any further.

Makes sense to me. If the "articles for deletion" process is usurped by the "articles for purgatory" process then it transforms the debate entirely. If you keep losing at chess than change the game to checkers, rather than continuing to complain about losing at chess.
It's already happened, with articles for deletion replaced by "merging" on the grounds that merging is not deletion.
