If I'm reading your assessment correctly, MrKermit, I don't believe your timeline regarding Moon Girl's Suit is accurate. The events occurred as followed:


 * Initial discussion regarding Suits stalled (April 4)
 * New post #1 - My post about beginning to add Delete tags (April 11, 13:37)
 * New post #2 - Nausiated's post, generally agreeing (April 11, 16:59)
 * Annabelle removed Moon Girl's Suit delete tag (April 11, 20:03)
 * I restore delete tag (April 11, 20:11)
 * New post #3 - I bring discussion about Moon Girl's Suit, specifically, to policy thread (April 11, 20:15)
 * Annabelle responds on policy thread, discussion of Moon Girl begins (April 11, 20:56)

So Moon Girl's Suit had not been under discussion prior to Annabelle removing the Delete tag. Negative or opposing opinions to my delete tags had not appeared on the policy thread until after my back-and-forth with Annabelle on Moon Girl's Suit edits. Annabelle believed the tag should be removed because the general discussion about Suits favored keeping the page, and I believe the opposite. Once I knew Moon Girl's Suit was a specific Suit needing discussion, I myself initiated discussion of it on the policy thread.

I admit I reattached the Delete tag as a prod to make sure Annabelle came to the policy thread and contributed to the discussion. If that was too bold and against policy, I apologize, but it has to be said I didn't do that to "win", but to make sure an opposing viewpoint to mine cared enough to make an appearance on the policy thread, so the Wiki could benefit from a discussion of both sides.

As for using Delete tags instead of Merge tags, I plead ignorance of policy or preference. From my perspective, the offending Suit pages were redundant because their information was generally already found in the #Equipment sections of the respective characters, so they were to be removed/deleted, not merged, because the info already existed on another page.
