Sure it is.
*'''Merge''' [[Poisonous influences of fruit]] into [[Kumquat]] and
delete. Good content, but it doesn't stand alone well and it's at a
misleading title.
I just made that up but I can easily imagine a case where something like
this would be worth doing. As for whether it's "hijacking" a vote, I'm
not sure what you mean. If an article got one third "keep" votes, one
third unqualified "merge" votes, and one third "delete" votes, should it
be deleted or not?
