Indeed. I'm not clear when the policy that a non-admin cannot
close
an AfD came into play, for example. When I was first an admin, it
was
the case that non-admins could close AfDs, but it's my
understanding
now that a non-admin who attempts to close an AfD will probably get
blocked.

I closed quite a few this January without being blocked. Including a few
relatively controversial articles. While I have since been informed that I
shouldn't have closed those ones, nobody said anything about them to me at the
time, much less blocked me.
