That's so true it isn't even funny. It also makes one think if it really 
would be all that bad if AfD was just shut down for a month like David 
Gerard proposed.  I personally think that merging an article isn't all 
that more complicated than setting up an AfD, if you see setting up an 
AfD as more than writing "nn v -~~~~". Your mileage may vary, of course.
