MR or RM?

In the interest of not cluttering what is likely to be a long discussion I'm posting here. Regarding this comment, that RM was closed on procedural grounds less than 7 days (which is the minimum required). Instead of trying to take that to a WP:MR, asking it to be re-opened, its less WP:BUREAUCRATIC to just start a new RM. And in this case, the RM is only started after a WP:RFCBEFORE [1].VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 22:24, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Vice regent: Someone responded to my remark, pointing out the specific rationale for the previous discussion being rapidly closed, so I have withdrawn my remark. I was off-base. I should study the background more carefully before making such a remark. I think it is fine for this to proceed as an RM, although I still haven't studied the history very carefully. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 05:26, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
