::::Topic specific wikiprojects should be given the heads up before a nomination, but there are other avenues that seem to be working. I've noticed an increase in new articles added over at [[WP:Proposed mergers]], and I think this theme is starting to catch on. Its a good noticeboard for complicated merges. --[[User:NickPenguin|<font color="darkgreen">Nick</font>]][[User talk:NickPenguin|<font color="darkblue">Penguin</font>]]<sub>([[Special:Contributions/NickPenguin|<font color="blue">'''contribs'''</font>]])</sub> 06:36, 23 August 2009 (UTC) |

:::::Reaching consensus on a merge is the lesser half of the job, making the merge effective is the bigger half. Here the merge back-log of the anime/manga project: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Cleanup_task_force#Articles_needing_to_be_merged]] Scary and i'm not even sure it's up to date. So when an Afd bring back articles on the top of the to do list, you rather want it to be fixed asap before other things happen delaying even more the clean-up. More use of [[WP:Proposed mergers]] is a really good thing, i just hope the merges are done afterward. --[[User:KrebMarkt|KrebMarkt]] 07:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC) |

*Yes, we should be able to merge during AfDs per [[WP:BOLD]], [[WP:BEFORE]], [[WP:PRESERVE]], and [[WP:IAR]]. An Afd should NOT prevent us from improving Wikipedia. We are here to build an encyclopedia, i.e. content, not to be mired in technicalities. If we find a solution in the course of a discussion for content's use that does not require an admin to have to use the delete function, we go with that rather than play games waiting for the verdict in some snap shot in time five to seven day discussion.
