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....

A few years ago, what would happen was they'd close it, tag the article as a speedy-deletion candidate, and mark it as "per the deletion discussion [here]", or something similar.

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.
