There is a clear consensus to merge, but the nominator's proposal says "delete". There seems to be a rash of such mislabelled CFD nominations recently, and they mislead editors. Please, Mar4d and other editors, take a few seconds to ensure that the headline of the nomination says what you actually intend. Merger and deletion have very different effects |

First off, when a page is deleted at an XFD discussion, that decision can be overturned only at WP:DRV. Talk page discussions are not as widely notified, so they can't overrule the broader consensus at CFD.
So the nominator |

Note that one effect of this merger would be to remove all 13 articles from Category:Landforms of Teton County, Wyoming, because this category is an intersection of Category:Landforms of Teton County, Wyoming and Category:Rivers and streams of Wyoming, and the proposal is for deletion rather than merger to both parents.
This removal of all the articles from any category relating to this county was not notified or explained by the nominator (although |
