We already have enough problems with admin burnout. Handing more responcibilty to admins is not a good idea.
Uhh, as it stands, closing AFDs is an enormous headache for admins that can get them into controversies and RFCs for failing to close a 51% delete vote as delete. What you're not noticing here is that /you still need an admin to delete an article/. Pure-admin deletion would make /less/ hassle for admins, not more.
Pure admin deletion turns the admin group from a service organization to a cabal that you must belong to in order to perform certain actions. It also give people who are otherwise happy with simply editing a tainted motivation to stand for adminship.
Aristocracies are *always* easier for the aristocrats.
