I don't understand this...how can a non-admin close an AfD except as a keep, lacking a
delete button? Or have they fiddled around the speedy deletion process to accommodate
this?

My own thought is that if no one cares, no one cares. Perhaps it's
not something that should be generally encouraged, but if someone
disagrees they could simply unclose it and leave it to an appointed
administrator to deal with it.

Because there is no desysopping to threaten them with if they screw up (duh... ). —
