It looks like you are combining all your questions with similar, but different questions. Try to word you question clearly so that people can help you better, and don't blame the website if you merge your questions incorrectly.

What should you do if WikiAnswers does not merge the similar questions that you have recommended a merge for?
If you believe that two questions should be merged, but the recommendation for one did not seem to work, contact any Supervisor or Community Assistant on WikiAnswers. They can merge questions very quickly for you if they are, indeed, similar enough.
Why do a question's original spelling mistakes stay after suggesting a merge?
Suggesting a merge sends a question to a CA to approve or decline a merge. When you merge questions, you do not change the wording of the questions. Normally we would not notice that the questions do not change because the merge happens instantly, but since there is a delay, we notice it. Don't worry even though it looks like nothing has happened, something will happen.

Why doesn't answers.com delete similar questions or at least combine them with similar questions?

The issue comes from poorly created questions which require additional help, often from the supervisors to trace down what exactly they are looking to achieve.. Answers.com will only delete questions that cause harm
