[edit] AFD vote

Just to let you know - under the terms of the GFDL we cannot delete and merge an article - if any of the content is kept we are required to keep the edit history. Delete and Merge is not a valid action. Guettarda 23:50, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

It's a common vote, and a common mistake - often made by people who should know better. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. Guettarda 00:00, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Further comment (please don't take this as a criticism of your vote) - "Merge" is a viable option - the article (and its history) is preserved as a redirect. "Delete" removes the article and its history. Of course anyone can merge an article - it doesn't require admin intervention. Granted, merging without consensus will upset people and probably be reverted by someone. Guettarda 04:06, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
