[[Wikipedia:Maintenance]] used to say "There is a common misconception that only administrators can deal with Wikipedia:Votes for deletion." It seems there is still this misconception, and for some reason, that statement was replaced last July with the ambiguous "Non-admins can help keep deletion pages clean by resolving discussions." (I'm not sure what "resolving" means here, but I suppose it could be inferred to mean closing.
If I can ask, what is the benefit of a non-admin closing a delete decision? He can't actually carry out the deletion, so is it just a question of saving a bit of housekeeping for the eventual admin?
