(Initiated 1139 days ago on 25 September 2021) While this RfC hasn't run for 30 days yet, it may be time for a close. The last comment was a week and a half ago. Note to closer, do not miss the existence of the prior RfC now in the archives. Thanks--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 18:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

(Initiated 1137 days ago on 27 September 2021) I have summarized the discussion at the top of each section, but would still like an uninvolved editor to close it formally. Discussion has slowed significantly and has not been contentious. Cpotisch (talk) 16:49, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

(Initiated 1173 days ago on 22 August 2021) The consensus is quite clear, but as I initiated the proposal and the WMF might push back against it I'd like to request an uninvolved closure. The related Phabricator ticket is T54165. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:21, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

(Initiated 1143 days ago on 21 September 2021) Nobody new has commented in a week and it appears to me that there's a rough consensus. I was involved, however, so I'd like to request an uninvolved editor close the discussion. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 23:02, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
(Initiated 1149 days ago on 15 September 2021) I should add this one Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian Bruckbauer too. Avilich (talk) 00:03, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
(Initiated 1144 days ago on 20 September 2021) Someone needs to close this discussion as well as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George L. Knox II, both of which were last relisted in early October. Probably not an easy close, and administrators seem to have been avoiding it for that reason. Avilich (talk) 11:26, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
(Initiated 1144 days ago on 20 September 2021) I actually came here myself to request a close on the same discussions (as well as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter I. Lawson, which has similarly been open for almost a month). I agree fully with Avilich on what's said above (despite our disagreement at each of these AfDs): these discussions have dragged on interminably, far past the point of any new arguments being raised, and really ought to be dealt with. jp×g 23:11, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

- {{Not done}} Insufficient discussion for consensus determination at this point. Instead, I have WP:BOLDLY turned James Morton (baker) into a redirect; content may be merged from the article history. This may be freely reverted by anyone. If it is not reverted, I would view that as implicit consensus in favour of redirecting/merging. If it is reverted, perhaps that will lead to further discussion such that a clearer consensus emerges. TompaDompa (talk) 23:56, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
(Initiated 1374 days ago on 1 February 2021) This has considerable discussion in detail, but got archived before closure. If someone could look it over, that would be most welcomed - David Gerard (talk) 16:11, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

(Initiated 1138 days ago on 25 September 2021) Looks like we have a clear consensus here, after more than 3 weeks of wrangling over the issue. The discussion has slowed to a crawl, and I don't expect any further meaningful input at this point. Since all of the parties interested appear to be involved, I'm requesting that an uninvolved experienced editor close this discussion, per an off-wiki request.

(Initiated 1142 days ago on 22 September 2021) Discussion appears to have petered out a few weeks ago. I'd like to request an uninvolved admin closure for this given its possible controversial nature. If it seems like relisting and continuing to discuss would be better, that's fine too, this is just an old CfD page now that no one's looked at in a couple of weeks. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:19, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

- @Redrose64: To the best of my understanding we did proceed through the normal AfD process. The conclusion of keep was unanimous. It has been more than a week since the discussion started. The user who started the discussion, GizzyCatBella, suggested that I ask here to speed up the closure because someone else needs to close it (if I understood correctly). I spent a lot of time on the article and we all think it's good, so I would just like to conclude the matter. --ArchaeoPhys (talk) 01:02, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

(Initiated 1117 days ago on 17 October 2021) MR opened a week ago but today there was an attempted closure by closer who was involved in several other disputes between me and other participants just prior to the Move Request and the RM closure wasn't done following Wikipedia's guidelines regarding the weight of arguments versus number of votes. Applicable policy, guidelines and naming conventions were also ignored. The RM would benefit from an administratrive closure instead.

(Continuation from above). RM was relisted by ProcrastinatingReader so that the editors are given some more time to reach a wp:consensus before RM closure.

- Please note that this discussion was closed before as no consensus but with claims of a conflict with someone else in that discussion, the closure was revert with an editwar. The Banner talk 08:32, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, I shall note that the first Closer, Buidhe, had some sort of a WP:Conflict of Interest since they were involved in two disputes elsewhere, (against the RM's initiator and 2 more RM participants). In response to this, I sought Admin attention, and Administrator Drmies understood our concerns on the matter, and suggested that someone else, more uninvolved and impartial, closes the RM instead: User talk:Drmies#Edit warring over RM closure. I followed Admin EdJohnston's advice and submitted a Request for Closure User talk:EdJohnston#Draw broader attention to a move request (that's the first closure request, above), to which ProcrastinatingReader responded by volunteering as our new Closer. ProcrastinatingReader, upon reviewing the RM, decided to re-list it so that some more room is given to reach a WP:CONSENSUS. Once a consensus was achieved about which name is more commonly used of the two, I came here again where I re-submitted the Request for Closure. The RM would benefit greatly from a closure that evaluates the arguments of the participants, appliance with Wikipedia's naming rules and guidelines, the consensus, and anything else the Closer may find interesting, such as the usual WP:BALKANS canvassing accusations. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 13:08, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

There has been a rough 2:1 consensus for a while now, but I am neither uninvolved nor unbiased and this RFC is contentious enough within the NZ wikiproject that it needs a formal close. — HTGS (talk) 22:20, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

(Initiated 1182 days ago on 12 August 2021) This RfC ended some time ago, but there's disagreement (here) about the result. We'd specifically like a decision on whether the RfC establishes consensus for the creation of a new guideline along the lines of CaptainEek's proposal. Thanks. Dan from A.P. (talk) 15:07, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Some context: the relevant part isn't the section linked in the heading but this subsection ("CaptainEek's proposal"). It's not a proposal "for the creation of a new guideline" -- that's how DanFromAnotherPlace has interpreted it. Given what seemed like a rough consensus there, combined with what I perceive to be fairly common practice with such sections, I made a change to MOS:POPCULT. That section already had some similar guidance about inclusion/sourcing requirements, etc. stemming from a 2015 RfC. Formal closure is, of course, not required, but I don't object to it either. Just adding context. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:59, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- {{Not done}} It's been two months since the end of the discussion and a month since this listing at ANRFC. I think the two most reasonable options here are marking this request as not done, leaving the discussion without formal closure, or closing the discussion as no consensus. Either way, the next step for any participants who want more concrete policy changes (besides the edit Rhododentrites already made) would be to start a new discussion. Courtesy pings for DanFromAnotherPlace and Rhododentrites. Firefangledfeathers 21:10, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Why "besides the edit Rhododentrites already made"? That edit was based on the claim that the RfC established a clear consensus. If there's no consensus for the change, shouldn't the guideline revert back to the status quo? Dan from A.P. (talk) 21:35, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- That's a fair question, and I didn't elaborate in the hopes of keeping this discussion brief. The vast, winding RfC is what I think could be reasonably closed as no consensus. CaptainEek's proposal received widespread support. I'd say the most likely outcomes are: clear support without a need for closure, closure of that specific proposal as support, or (a distant third) no consensus for that proposal. Even if we settled on no consensus for that proposal, the local support Rhododendrites edit has received at WT:TRIV would be enough for continued inclusion. I would be happy to discuss more at my user talk. It can stay here too, but it seems like this is rarely the place for lengthy discussion. I'll also say that any experienced closer who wants to take this on should feel free to strike my "not done" and remove the done parameter at the top.

- That's a fair question, and I didn't elaborate in the hopes of keeping this discussion brief. The vast, winding RfC is what I think could be reasonably closed as no consensus. CaptainEek's proposal received widespread support. I'd say the most likely outcomes are: clear support without a need for closure, closure of that specific proposal as support, or (a distant third) no consensus for that proposal. Even if we settled on no consensus for that proposal, the local support Rhododendrites edit has received at WT:TRIV would be enough for continued inclusion. I would be happy to discuss more at my user talk. It can stay here too, but it seems like this is rarely the place for lengthy discussion. I'll also say that any experienced closer who wants to take this on should feel free to strike my "not done" and remove the done parameter at the top. Firefangledfeathers 21:47, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Why "besides the edit Rhododentrites already made"? That edit was based on the claim that the RfC established a clear consensus. If there's no consensus for the change, shouldn't the guideline revert back to the status quo? Dan from A.P. (talk) 21:35, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

It seems there are people more interesting in closing this discussion down rather than discussing the issues related to this page. There were some valid points made but plenty engaged in discussions of closure instead of debating the bias in the article. What one editor said couldn't be more true.

- The last vote before you requested closure (excluding your own vote), was cast just 4 days ago. Closure is commonly requested if a discussion has been idle for weeks or even month, so that interested editors have had a reasonable amount of time to vote or comment; if the discussion had been closed immediately after your request, this vote could not have been cast. Also note, that it is generally inappropriate, to request closure right after having cast a vote yourself, as this can be seen as an attempt at gaming the system.

There were five options in the RfC, and I've summarized the preference of the commenters in the table below. The first column only includes commenters' top choice, while the second shows all supported choices, as many commenters indicated support for more than one option (in the context of "Option X, but failing that, Option Y").

(Initiated 1137 days ago on 27 September 2021) ANI thread that has been open for a while. Discussion has stalled recently but consensus is not obvious, so it would benefit from an administrative close. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 02:25, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Sdkb: it's now been 70 days since the thread was opened, and about 50 days since you posted this request for closure. I am interpreting the protracted silence as a sign that there is no admin interest in taking action. At this point—and I'll be clear that this speculation on my part—I think any admin would have to question whether action taken on such an old report would be construed as punishment rather than prevention. Would you consider removing this request? Firefangledfeathers 21:58, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Firefangledfeathers, thanks for the follow-up. I think the lack of action indicates a failure of process here and at ANI. This noticeboard is the appropriate place to go to seek administrative action on time-sensitive issues, the discussion was brought here, yet there has been no action. Individually, there's no one to blame, since closing ANI threads is obviously not a fun task and no one editor has an obligation to take it on. But collectively, we have a severe problem when an editor (FormalDude in this case) can decide that a problem is bad enough that they're willing to expend the (often considerable) effort and emotional labor to file an ANI report and argue to find consensus on a sanction, but the consensus is never actioned because the thread is never closed. At this point, it's a lose-lose situation—I agree with you that taking any action at this point risks going against WP:DEADHORSE, but not doing so gives the reported editor the impression that they can continue to step up to or across the line without penalty. If an admin decides that the only thing to do at this point is to archive this CR, I'd view that as very reasonable, but I'd like them to make the call. Best, {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:32, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Sdkb: I understand your frustration. I skimmed the discussion and just based on what's there I don't see consensus for any kind of action. At this late point in time, I also doubt that anything good would come from dredging this up again. If there have been issues since this discussion, I would recommend filing a new ANI report or raise the issue individually with an administrator. I think that would be more productive than trying to make something out of this old report. {{not done}} — Wug·a·po·des 04:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Just counting the votes it is pretty clearly a no consensus result but I'm requesting closure because as I understand it discussions are not determined only by votes (so an uninvolved and experienced editor reading through would be good) and since in this case the RfC is on whether a table that was removed six months ago should be added back a closer is also needed to determine what the status quo to be maintained actually is in the case of no consensus.

- Also supporting a panel of three for this Rfc, which is likely to have a lasting influence well beyond this one article. I'd prefer at least one or two admins, but if it makes it any easier, I'd welcome very experienced non-admin closers who have deep command of policies and guidelines, and have demonstrated neutrality in controversial issues before, among the group of three. Mathglot (talk) 23:42, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Let it stay up for potentially more input; let's say 30 days. Also, I strongly support a panel of at least three closers, the majority of whom should be administrators, and all of whom should be both experienced and relatively uninvolved in such issues. As wrote, this is likely to have influence beyond the specific article. -The Gnome (talk) 11:06, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- If a singular, uninvolved, and experienced non-admin wants to close, then they are fully within the rights, and I would support their decision to do so; we should not be dictating the requirements for a closer beyond what is required by policy, particularly for an RfC which will have limited impact despite the unusually high level of attention it is receiving. BilledMammal (talk) 10:42, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
- At a skim I'm not sure its implications are actually that global. If I were closing it I'd go for a narrow closure applicable only to this specific article, as the question (and comments) are also specific to this article and its subject, and hence the RfC result is not necessarily applicable to a different BLP. I'm sure its result may be invoked as precedent in future cases where a BLP subject has a similar background/context to JKR, but editors would still have to consider the context to decide whether the result even applies in the first place; for example, DUEness (a popular argument in that RfC) varies depending on the specific case, what's DUE in one article may not be in another (and vice versa). Probably not going to close it myself, in deference to the number of editors who have requested that it be a panel, although I don't really see the case for a panel closure here. Agree the full 30 day period should run, regardless. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 13:32, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- I think the case for a panel is (1) to lend legitimacy to the close of an unusually contentious discussion and (2) to ensure that the weight given to various factors (e.g., number of !votes, policy-based arguments, and sources) reflects community consensus rather than one admin's opinion. That weight aspect might have some relevance outside the particular article, though I don't deem it likely for the close to articulate principles that could be applied directly in other instances. Newimpartial (talk) 14:07, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- I'm generally wary about having panel closes becoming too prevalent. There are definitely times when they're useful (I'd say DM1 and DM2 are good examples), but most decisions (including very influential ones) have been made by consensus and closed by single editors (or sometimes even no editor; a lot of PAGs never formally went through "RfC" and closure). Panel closes are not only more logistically difficult and thus delay discussion closure, but also kinda move away from the general precedent. I agree with the general concern that a close should reflect community consensus and not an individual closers' opinion, but I think this applies to all closes, and in general we usually do get it right (experienced editors have a good idea for which discussions they have an opinion about or are unsuitable closers for, and hence don't close them; and WP:AN reviews the exceptions) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:53, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- My sense is that this would be very likely to head to AN if given an "average" Admin close, but can't see that happening if a panel does the job. That would be my pragmatic argument for a panel: heading off some of the most likely outcomes that would be negative for the community. On the other hand, I don't see any negatives that would accrue from the slower resolution inherent in a panel. Newimpartial (talk) 22:19, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

- A number of editors, some of whom have participated in that RfC, have submitted a solid reasoning for asking for more than one editor to close it down.

- Yikes that's big. It should run the full 30 days to ensure no one complains about process. I agree with PR above about panel closures, so I would recommend this just be closed by a single person. It's a big discussion but nothing that a single person can't handle. Panels are usually a waste of time except in cases like WP:RFA2021 or WP:AHRFC where there are multiple proposals that can be split between closers before coming back to summarize the whole thing. Forcing two or three people to read the whole thing just isn't a good use of time; better to just handle problems at AN (or the new WP:XRV) in the unlikely event the closer you find does a bad job. — Wug·a·po·des 04:40, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- Agree with Wugapodes on all of those counts, and, we don't want discussion participants specifying how the close will be made.

- It needs to be tagged for a week. That means listed on the RM list and a template on the article page. You know, standard WP:RM procedure. So this talk page discussion is a pre-RM discussion and doesn't need closure. What needs to happen is for the pending move review to close, and then, if applicable, a new RM. I believe this page has never had an actual full RM; all attempted RMs have been interrupted by page moves during the RM. There should be one, full, proper, uninterrupted RM... followed by a moratorium for a reasonable period (months). IMO :-) Levivich 00:22, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

(Initiated 1006 days ago on 5 February 2022) - Discussions have started regarding an early closure to open a new RM. However, while there appears to be a consensus against the proposed title, although a closer may find differently, it is possible that there is also a consensus against the current title, so the discussion needs to be formally closed.

- @LongLivePortugal: I believe you need to clarify your close with what should happen to the current article, per WP:OTHEROPTIONS. BilledMammal (talk) 06:39, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @BilledMammal: Hmm... I hadn't thought about that... But is it necessary? This wasn't a move discussion; it was a standard RfC whose object was whether to convert the article to a disambiguation page, not whether it should be merged or moved (in fact, although a few editors mentioned it, consensus about that was unclear). The decided action (conversion to DAB) has already been performed. And any of the articles about the 2013–14 events — notably, Euromaidan, Russo-Ukrainian War and Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation — are already much more developed than the pre-closure version of Ukrainian crisis, which makes it unlikely that there is anything in that version that isn't already present in the remaining articles (at least enough to justify a merge). Therefore, I think it is easiest if we leave it as it is (since the RfC was not meant to debate any merging or moving) and allow anyone who notices anything important in the deleted content from the pre-closure version which is absent from the other articles to freely add it there. What do you think? LongLivePortugal (talk) 12:33, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @LongLivePortugal: It wasn't a move discussion, but it also wasn't a deletion discussion. It might be easiest to do as you say, but I also don't believe it is correct, and I believe your close needs to be be adjusted to address what is correct. BilledMammal (talk) 21:06, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @BilledMammal: How can this not be correct? The contents of the pre-closure version are there for all editors to see; anyone can freely take that content and add it to any relevant existing articles, or even to create a new article with the whole content (which may be subject to an AfD in case of dispute). In addition, few of the participants of the RfC mentioned anything about what should happen to the article text. How can I determine what was the consensus with so few opinions? I do not understand; as I said, I have no experience in closing discussions (and I hope I didn't pick a bad one for a start!). What exactly would you suggest?

- Closing it quickly would be a mistake. Some AFDs run for 2 or 3 weeks or longer, depending on the complexity. No need for a request to close here. Let the normal process continue.

- It's very simple: We don't keep them open or close them fast in order to change the likely outcome. We keep them open if there is participation.

- This has been going on for over a month and not much discussion is happening except on a few subproposals. The primary proposal should probably be closed first (as it passing, if that was found to be the consensus, would make everything else redundant). You should probably treat each of the remaining subproposals as independent discussions from the others (that way the burden can be shared and you don't have to do it all at once).

Regardless, opposition is unanimous. The IP didn't even bother casting a support vote. Alsee (talk) 01:38, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 1192 days ago on 3 August 2021) Extremely old and stale RFC that hasn't had any participation in over six months. 2601:647:5800:1A1F:3581:FAF4:6129:CFEA (talk) 02:21, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 980 days ago on 2 March 2022) Discussion has been running a month, generated a ton of comments. Commenting has died down, there's clearly enough to determine something. --Jayron32 16:18, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 967 days ago on 15 March 2022) This discussion has had no replies for over a week, and has been relisted two times, each time failing to create a clear consensus. Closed once before second relisting by User:Star Mississippi. Closure by an experienced AFD admin would be helpful. 2601:647:5800:1A1F:808A:F44B:E925:9190 (talk) 23:29, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- There is a clear consensus to delete if you discount the half-baked keep !votes Kingoflettuce (talk) 23:47, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

- {{not done}} Why would this need a close? It's ongoing and this sort of thing would be resolved at WP:AFD (where it already closed keep) not at a random talk page discussion. Sergecross73 msg me 17:20, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 965 days ago on 17 March 2022) The unblock discussion has been open for 12 days with no further major discussion taking place. I believe the request is ready to close. Operator873 connect 20:33, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
(Initiated 958 days ago on 25 March 2022) AN/I posting on which not a single Administrator has commented. Oldest posting on AN/I by multiple days, discussion has largely stopped and it seems everyone has said their piece. A verdict is needed one way or another. BSMRD (talk) 20:40, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Please, please, April 6, somebody close this. 3,220 words have been added since BSMRD's request, (per MSWord count, and I didn't include diffs or links, just visible text.) This gotcha-trading pileup gets longer and more toxic until somebody stops it. See also this edit summary, "... I need a break and need to do other things.

(Initiated 999 days ago on 12 February 2022) – ask that a closer please look at this and end the eager anticipation. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 11:54, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 960 days ago on 23 March 2022) Not a particularly difficult close, in my opinion, but this discussion has brought in a bunch of WP:SPAs from Reddit who are having a hard time seeing that, and have been arguing about it for many months (see discussions directly above on its talk page for further context.) Sergecross73 msg me 13:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- There's now edit warring going on, as some editors refuse to see a consensus, so a formal close really would help. I'd rather start with that and then move on to page protection afterwards if they persist. Sergecross73 msg me 21:59, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

- {{already done}}, as JalenFolf beat me to it. I was going to close with the same result, FYI. Courtesy ping for Sergecross73, who'd I'd (gently, cordially) encourage to keep future closure requests a bit more neutral. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:28, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 1010 days ago on 1 February 2022) This discussion was started in February. Since then, it has been relisted three times, and discussion seems to not be reaching a clear consensus.
