The problem being, I can remove the bright purple tables and correct the 
spelling while the article's still in AFD (if I think it's worth it, I 
wouldn't do that for a very probable deletion candidate...) What I 
*can't* do is speedy merge, because it's strictly verboten to mess with 
the AFD tag. So, I've got to *vote* merge and hope that somebody 
listens, or I have to revisit the article after the AFD is over (if I 
don't forget about it).
