For a start admins shouldn't be afraid to follow concensus rather than the voting majority. If, for example, someone bolds delete, but indicates they're happy with a merge, there should be no reason that comment can't be used to support a merge decision.
In fact I see this happen quite often. People are ambiguous about what they want, yet they seem to only bold one of the two extremes: keep or delete. As if any sort of middle way can't be discussed.

Start by educating admins and make sure that concensus is properly defined as determined by arguments rather than votes. Than people can claim false assertions all they like without them making any difference.
Yes, certainly a miraculous transformation of attitudes surrounding AfD would work, but I'm not exactly sure how to implement it.
