I endorse that, although I don't see why the authority to merge-and-redirect should be limited to administrators.
I agree. I don't know why I thought it should be limited to administrators. A non-administrator can close a clear non-delete debate (indeed I believe some adventurous non-administrators may have closed delete debates by putting a delete-because tag on the article).
Yes, I'm one of them :) I did it for a few more-than-week-old debates where there was near-unanimous support to delete the article; of course, I would hope that any admin coming across an article tagged with {{db|per [[Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion/{{PAGENAME}}]]}} would actually check the outcome of the AfD...
