A very recent AFD(the second nomination) was closed as Merge due to no consensus for anything except removal of the article. However, the page cannot be merged:
- it does not contain any reliable independent sources. Insufficiently sourced content cannot be merged.
- it does not fit the scope of the list it is supposed to be merged into(only notable topics are allowed into that list)
It can neither be redirected:
- Because the article is outside of the scope of the list there is no valid reason to redirect. The redirect would not make any sense because it redirects to something else and cause confusion because the reader couldn't find what they look for on that page. A redlink would be more accurate.

- Comment. The AfD was closed as merge to List of .NET libraries and frameworks and DataObjects.NET has been on that list since November 2018. Many of the items on that list don't have Wikipedia articles, just links to their websites. StarryGrandma (talk) 00:07, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
- That's a good argument to remove it and anything similarly notable) from the list(as it is not considered notable and outside of the scope of the list).Lurking shadow (talk) 15:32, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
- If I remove anything unsourced or only sourced to independent sources then there's nothing left. Nothing to merge, nothing to include in the list.Lurking shadow (talk) 15:38, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
