Well, I started looking at the month-by-month, from start of 2006. The numbers of articles there are quite small, initially. A small sample suggests that many of the merge notices relate to merges that have had significant opposition. I took down a couple. 

Rather than quoting a figure of 10000 in total, which no one feels they could have much impact in clearing, you might do better to look at older subcategories.
