Probably the best way, then, to work around the poisonous dysfunction of xFD is to make the deletion moot by merging it into the town article and making the name a redirect.

Lucky me - I'd already done that for the ones that have been deleted, despite the guide to VFD warning against it! Ah, the joy of cheating the system.

It says *what*? Remove that promptly. If you don't want to, I will. That will have been put there by some idjit who feels a burning need to hamper the operation of Wikipedia for the sake of a higher-throughput deletion procedure. Bollocks to that - merging content is always an option.

Now all we need is someone complaining that it shouldn't be in the town article, but at least that can't be brushed under the rug with vfd, just a nice healthy revert war.

Let's see if it's started by someone who *just happens* to be a VFD habitue.
