Speedy-delete closes

 * Since speedy-deletes can be contested, as a practical matter non-admins (who can't do the actual delete) should avoid closing AFDs as "speedy delete" until AFTER it is deleted AND sufficient time has gone by after the page has been deleted that it's obvious that the deleting admin won't do the close himself.

Even in those cases, the close would be a "proxy close" (my term, you won't find that in any Wikipedia documentation) and should be something along the lines of ""speedy deleted by adminname for reason given in deletion log, procedurally closing AFD nac" or something similar that makes it clear that someone OTHER THAN YOU made the final decision and makes it clear what that final decision was, along with nac or some other indication that the "paperwork" was closed out by a non-admin. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  22:48, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
