It's not required, but it's the most common outcome. When you think
about it, what is an AfD really there for?  We very rarely actually
want to replace an article with a redlink. Pretty much "deletion"
debates are actually arguing for merging, or replacing by a redirect,
both of which could be done without the debate.
