The tag encourages users to delete the article rather than fix problems. That is the point. It is not personal.

- tptacek 17y agoThat's precisely what the tag doesn't do. If you want to encourage people to delete the article, you put it up for AfD.
- Goladus 17y agoThen why not remove the warning saying "this article is likely to be merged or deleted"? "Does not meet notability guidelines, please help fix" is not the same as "Does not meet notability guidelines, help fix or this article gets deleted." The latter frames the issue as content not permitted, the former frames the issue as content yet to come. The difference is significant.
