AFD had a near unanimous concensus that the article should be deleted. I don't have anything against merging content during the discussion, but if the consensus is to delete such a merge must be undone. --Mgm

No, AfD had a no consensus, and it was closed as a merge. Then somebody decided he didn't like that result and deleted it anyhow. So the article was put on AfD again so at least some semblance of consensus would be obtained for this unilateral action. It's a facet of AfD that a dissenting administrator can provoke a rerun if he really wants an article deleted. Makes us all look like idiots, but there you go.

If the data is useful where it was merged into, there is no reason to arbitrarily undo the merge. After all, even the deletion policy doesn't preclude the recreation of the *exact same article*, provided that there is sufficient new content included in the recreation.
We're building an encyclopedia, and if the merge supports that mission, leave it, regardless of whether we've voted that the article is unsustainable as a separate article.
Had SPUI not created a redirect, we'd simply be pleased with his expansion of the township article, and this wouldn't even be discussed.

What vandal would do that?
Obviously, unless a merger prohibition was specifically mentioned in the deletion request it should not apply.
