It's been brought to my attention that since the new deletion changes rolled out, there's a seeming inconsistency when you want to delete your own (non-negative-scored) question

• You can always delete your own, unanswered, open question, but
• You cannot delete your own, unanswered closed question for two days after closure

This seems illogical; if anything, others having closed a question would seem to make it a better candidate for self-deletion, not worse. And given that one of the window's main goal is to ensure the OP has a chance to clarify or improve, I don't see much point in blocking it.

Am I missing anything obvious?

EDIT: It appears that this issue pre-dates the changes - before, the same seeming inconsistency existed for users without deletion privileges; now it exists for everyone. Also, I stink at finding dupes.
