Afd closure
, as the discussion had turned to the notion of instead merging and redirecting the article, particularly with dialogue on the matter very late last night regarding this development, was it not premature to close the debate? Yes, the initial proposal for deletion was now redundant but as Merging indicates that it is appropriate to continue the Afd debate in this direction, at the very least you could have indicated if and why I am mistaken in my understanding of the policy. Nobody in the same time zone had had reasonable time to respond. Mutt Lunker (talk) 09:43, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You withdrew the nomination, which means you don't want the article deleted. Mergers or redirects can be discussed here on the talk page.  Sandstein   09:57, 15 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia:Merging#Merger_as_a_result_of_a_deletion_discussion is, as I understand, a valid course, and I had indicated, in response to a question, my intention to do so, with a request for response from others. Are you saying it is not a valid course? Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:10, 15 June 2019 (UTC)


 * , to clarify, this is a genuine and not a rhetorical question and I'm not interested in having a go. I'm baffled as to why a debate which had been apparently settled but then revived with a potential new, policy-based form of resolution under discussion, with a request for responses, was closed off before anyone reasonably had a chance to respond or even register this. Is it in fact not a legitimate course and if so, can you clarify why? Yes, it could all be discussed again here but as the previous discussion addressed which aspects of the subject were notable or otherwise and listed several pertinent and reliable new references, it would surely have been preferable to develop the existing discussion.

 * Consensus was to keep the article, and the AfD had run the required seven days. There was therefore plenty of time for discussion, and no point in keeping the AfD open longer. If you want to continue the discussion about a merger or redirect, you can do so here.  Sandstein   10:21, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry if my posts have been insufficiently focussed regarding my question. Am I misinterpreting Wikipedia:Merging#Merger_as_a_result_of_a_deletion_discussion? Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:56, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
