I even have a lovely little script in my monobook that does everything for me - all I have
to do is write the closing rationale.
And Charlotte is completely correct about admins and CSD....

admin had to check the discussion was indeed a fair close.
Maybe in theory but in practice, half the admins watching CSD will
swing at anything without examination or comment.
Mind you, I'm not entirely sure how to close
a deletion debate
*properly* - I've been an admin three years and never closed one. :-)
Far from rocket science, you should try it.
