Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Operating authority
if information from a page has been |merged into another article, it generally cannot be deleted per the terms of the GFDL license under which content on Wikipedia is released (the history must be retained). Redirecting the page to the parent article to which the information was merged would be appropriate, this can be done (and should be done) without taking the article to |AfD
