The result was speedy keep because the nominator explicitly wants an article merger of what xe sees to be duplicate articles, not a deletion. Article merger does not involve deletion at any stage or any requirement for administrator intervention. When you see duplicate articles, your first port of call should not be AFD.

ANSI C
Duplicates information in C programming language without adding anything not already found there. Fuels a misconception that "ANSI C" is some kind of C dialect, as opposed to just being another name for standard C. Suggest replacing with a redirect to C programming language. (See Talk:ANSI C.)

 * So you know, you don't need AfD to (merge and) redirect. This desperately needs cleanup but I'd support keeping it as a separate article specifically on the standard, or redirecting it to a new article on C variants. The main article is long enough already. Opabinia regalis 04:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
