  The first discussion should probably have been structured as a requested moves discussion, so it should be closed, but the second one doesn't seem like it needs to be closed. Anyway, because both of the discussions are relatively disorganized this discussion is unorganized, it will be almost impossible to close this discussion. It's probably better if someone starts an RFC after this discussion. 2601:647:5800:1A1F:B1AE:A56E:B4C:3EB3 (talk) 16:23, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemicals/Chemical data pages cleanup#Chemical data pages cleanup

(Initiated 1060 days ago on 31 December 2021). Request is described at #Request hatting closure. (Talk is stale, after a noconsensus-closure of an AfD). I am involved; I think this thread status is not controversional. -DePiep (talk) 11:00, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

@DePiep: I gave a glance at this and honestly don't have a clue what I'm looking at. Is there something people are still disagreeing about? If everyone tacitly agrees what the consensus is now, no formal closure is necessary. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 00:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

@Compassionate727:: You saw it right ;-) In short: discussion is stale; was concluded elsewhere in a related AfD; the AfD advised thorough discussion elsewhere (like VP or RFC).

To close this (complicated, multi-subtopical) discussion thread I propose {{hat}}-ting by an outsider; follow up possibly elsewhere or as restart (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemicals/Chemical data pages cleanup § Request hatting closure).

The closer (like you) does not have to conclude, just freeze the big thread. Reason I ask here is that I am involved and so cannot add {{hat}} myself. One of my opponents in there supports this route. DePiep (talk) 06:22, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Canada convoy protest/Archive 6#Title change and alternative, more fitting titles

(Initiated 1013 days ago on 16 February 2022) Please review this discussion. --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:30, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Jax 0677, this discussion seems to have been more of a straw poll/brainstorming exercise, so I'm not sure formal closure would be very useful. (If I did close it, I would probably say something like "there is interest in several possible titles, including 2022 Canadian convoy protests, Canada convoy protests, and Freedom convoy protests, but there's no consensus for any particular proposal due largely to low participation. Further discussion is welcome since most participants aren't happy with the current title either.") My suggestion would be to choose one (and only one) of the proposed titles that gained the most support (maybe 2022 Canadian convoy protests) and propose it in a new RM, giving participants an either/or choice between the proposed title and the status quo. It might also be worthwhile just to wait a week or two: it may well be that finding consensus will become far easier once these events are safely out of the headlines. I hope this is helpful.

  User:Jax 0677, do you still need a formal closure of the discussion? The RM was just closed as "no consensus for move". Natg 19 (talk) 17:19, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

  Reply - Might as well. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:15, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

  {{nd}} Given that there has been a subsequent move discussion that ended in "No consensus," it's probably best to just let this preliminary discussion disappear into the archives. 2601:647:5800:1A1F:D528:4D19:2CF7:AEB2 (talk) 02:05, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

A more recent discussion participant has proposed to draft alternative language, so I would wait and see if that comes about. A few more days can't hurt, particularly where maintaining the status quo is the default alternative. BD2412 T 05:08, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive341#NSPORTS closure review

(Initiated 991 days ago on 10 March 2022) The close of the 2022 NSPORT RfC was challenged at AN. Given the magnitude of the issue, closure may be needed now that the AN discussion has been archived. The implementation of the RfC is dependent on the AN discussion. An experienced closer previously uninvolved with the NSPORTS discussions would be ideal. Pilaz (talk) 18:44, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

This close request should be removed. It's over a month old, the outcome is very obviously "no consensus to overturn", and the closure has already been implemented at WP:NSPORTS (and AFDs have already been decided under the new NSPORTS). On the ground, we're way past this close review; there's no benefit from a formal closure at this late stage. Levivich 16:54, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Fox News

(Initiated 1011 days ago on 18 February 2022) On top of the inherently contentious nature of the proposal, there was significant controversy over whether this RfC (which failed WP:RFCNEUTRAL) is adequate to its intended aim. Have fun with this one. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 14:23, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

• The discussion's now archived. With the caveat that I participated in the discussion, I will say that I don't think it's necessary or even worthwhile to close it. It became a pre-RfC discussion which might lead to a well-formed RfC in future, but wasn't really one as written.—S Marshall T/C 00:20, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

  I suppose I don't feel particularly strongly about this getting a formal closure either; by my reckoning, it wasn't going to change the existing consensus anyway. That said, I don't think there would be much community support to open an actual RfC soon after this discussion because so many people treated it like one. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 01:07, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

• I reverted A. C. Santacruz's edit which marked this request as done. I had posted a duplicate request for closure down in "Other types of closing requests", as this wasn't really an RfC. Regardless of where it's placed, I do think formal closure would help for this discussion, which was posted on WP:CENT and well attended. If an uninvolved volunteer thinks this should be "not done", I'll accept it. Firefangledfeathers (talk | contribs) 15:05, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 952 days ago on 18 April 2022) Apparently duplicate AfDs were created for this article, after which Newyorkbrad copied one discussion to the other, including the AfD close templates. The inclusion of the close templates is apparently confusing the bots, because it is not being listed anywhere as open, and it is therefore overdue for closure or relisting. Based on the discussion to date, it would be eminently plausible to relist rather than close, and I could easily remove the existing close templates myself to help restore some semblance of order, but I hesitated to do so without bringing it to one of the admin boards and explaining the situation. So here I am. --Finngall ^talk 16:44, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, bit of a mess that one. But as far as I can tell there was only ever one AfD page and one transclusion.

• Sideswipe9th if you're inexperienced with closing I would not recommend joining a panel close. The point in panel closes is that a group of trusted closers reach a common interpretation of the discussion's consensus. Two trusted closers and an inexperienced one would not really be much of a difference from just two. — Ixtal ^{( T / C )} ⁂ Join WP:FINANCE! 15:53, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Completely agree with Ixtal. An RfC of such significance is the last one inexperienced editors should be involved with. Dear colleagues, I trust your good intentions. It is in that spirit that I ask that only editors experienced in closing down RfC's, plus at least one admin, should undertake the work. -The Gnome (talk) 15:51, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

• Objection to undertaken closing: I have nothing against the good intentions or the abilities of the three editors who undertook the closing. But the issue is quite significant and the arguments raised from all sides are anything but simple; many of them directly address Wikipedia policy. I suggest that the work must be done with the participation of at least one administrator among the closers. -The Gnome (talk) 13:15, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

  Why? RFA doesn't test a person's ability to evaluate complex arguments in the light of policy. It's a test of temperament, resilience and popularity, nothing more.—S Marshall T/C 08:21, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

  TBH all I said was I do not recommend being unexperienced closers, but I am not prejudging Sidswipe9th's or the other two's understanding of policy. If there are any issues with their close it'll be taken to closure review, and if not the RfC will finally be closed rather than having to wait months for any closure to happen. In essence, the benefits are large and the problems are fixable. It is clear to me that there are very, very few admins actually willing to do controversial closes. — Ixtal ^{( T / C )} ⁂ Join WP:FINANCE! 10:10, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 921 days ago on 19 May 2022) – Highly personalized AFD stemming from a VPP discussion about the misapplication of MEDRS, which is ironically evoked in the AFD statement and in several !votes. I fear this is a case where the AFD is being used to build a consensus against including content on MEDRS grounds, without discussing the applicability of the guideline to the disputed content, which would then be deleted under a WP:BLAR close. The nominator, who singled out the Tinnitis claim in the VPP and AFD didn't even bother checking if there are review articles on the subject, so I really don't see any grounds for deleting content on the basis of WP:MEDRS, WPLOR, or WP:FRINGE.

I'm an admin, and I won't touch it. This was a horrible RfC right from the start - the statement was long, incoherent and often changed, so it wasn't possible to work out what was being asked, let alone leave a suitable constructive comment. Even Legobot had difficulty in identifying the start date, and so made the absolute minimum entry in the RfC listings. Since it couldn't determine the start date, it also doesn't know when thirty days later might be, and won't be able to remove the {{rfc}} tag, so it will need to be manually removed. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:40, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive342#Topic ban review/revisiting/appeal

(Initiated 967 days ago on 3 April 2022) - archived topic ban appeal, requesting per a request at WP:AN BilledMammal (talk) 02:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

I am again requesting attention to this. I am pleading that an administrator please close this soon. It has been 50 days since I made my appeal, weeks since the last comment on discussion and weeks since it was added to this page here. Yet no closure. This leaves me in a frustrating limbo where I have no resolution. That weeks have gone by and no administrator has taken action to close this has been quite frustrating. I would be most appreciative if one would SecretName101 (talk) 01:45, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

I will add that in the past 50 days I have also continued to work on making appropriate improvements to the project while awaiting a closure of this discussion. SecretName101 (talk) 01:55, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Is it okay for me to non-admin close this as no consensus or to uphold the topic ban? Several supporters indicated that SecretName had improved their behaviour, but opponents noted that SecretName was caught repeatedly violating their topic ban. I thought that the first rule of appealing a ban is not to engage in the banned behaviour during the ban. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:30, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

I oppose this close request. Jax 0677 is requesting to close a normal talk page discussion, where multiple editors disagree with his use of "alleged" and "allegedly" in one way or another. Such a close is non-standard and not beneficial to anyone except for Jax 0677. Others might want to comment on the topic. For example, Jax 0677 was recently involved in an edit war at the article with Zedembee, who last edited on June 18th. Zedembee's last edit was to challenge Jax 0677. So Zedembee might want to comment in the discussion when returning. GBFEE (talk) 21:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Reply - @Redrose64:, does this not suffice for notification? --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:42, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Sure, but you should have done that yourself in the first place. This noticeboard is not part of the arbcom setup - whilst some of the people who post to (or merely visit) this page may be arbitrators or arbcom clerks, such people post here in the capacity of admins or regular editors, not in the capacity of arbs. We have no right to close any discussion that is at Wikipedia:Arbitration or any of its subpages, so raising a closure request here was an improper attempt to bypass their established processes. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:12, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

@Redrose64: much as I respect you as a veteran editor and someone I've had the honour to meet too, I think you're being a bit harsh on the OP here. I see no evidence they were trying to bypass any processes, they just thought maybe that case should be closed and this is the closure requests board. The solution is to AGF and simply point them to or forward the request to the correct venue for such a request, as indeed Extraordinary Writ has already done. Cheers, and hope all have a good Sunday.  — Amakuru (talk) 08:20, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 941 days ago on 29 April 2022) We have decided to close this RFC to partially rewrite it and start a new one. A formal closure is necessary in order not to create confusion with the new RFC that will be started. --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 07:35, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

I agree with User:SDC's closure request. --Checco (talk) 08:58, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

After reviewing the discussion in the subsequent talk page section, especially in light of the comments volunteers at WP:DRN, I do not believe there is consensus to close this RfC. Though I would appreciate a second opinion on this prior to marking it as not done. Sideswipe9th (talk) 03:29, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

@Sideswipe9th: Maybe we should wait the now open ANI thread. I feel like closing that RfC would be for the best, not so that they can start a new, very similar RfC, but so other users can discuss on what the best options would be for the next RfC, so a broader WP:RFCBEFORE. My fear of closing the RfC now, though, is that they will see this as a green light to start the other one. Isabelle ^🏳‍🌈 21:55, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

@Isabelle Belato: Yeah, I think that may be best given the circumstances. At the time I wrote this last night, the ANI thread had yet to be filed, and that certainly has the potential for changing the underlying situation. Sideswipe9th (talk) 21:59, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Comment In the meantime I had stated that some changes to the current RFC were enough to prevent its closure, I don't understand why they were rejected. And if I'm asked not to start a new RFC after the closure of the current one, I wouldn't start it. It seems fair to point this out.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 09:54, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:PBS#Request for comment about the status of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) as a TV network

(Initiated 889 days ago on 20 June 2022) The discussion was initially closed by me today (13 July 2022), specifically, sometime this afternoon (I launched it last month), as Wikipedia policy (WP:RFCEND, specifically #5) does allow any editor involved in a discussion to close it upon a consensus being reached. It was closed based upon my interpretation that a consensus was reached (of the editors who got involved, 5, in one way or another, stated support for my proposed change to the current wording; 4 stated no reference for, and thereby no support for, the current wording [which was the reason for the RfC]; & 1 editor didn't even vote, but simply stated that, ultimately, programming defines a station) in favor of the re-wording I had proposed. Another editor, @General Ization:, got involved, disagreed with my interpretation of a consensus &, at least from my point of view, wrongly re-opened the discussion. After some back & forth with Ization, I have decided to request a review of the discussion, in the hopes that, depending on the result of the review, not only will I no longer have to worry about dealing with the editor, but that they'll be convinced to accept the facts of the situation & move on to something else. 2600:1700:C960:2270:3CD1:517A:41BE:55DB (talk) 03:48, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board#RfC for inclusion of Australian Indigenous placenames within the lead and infobox of articles

(Initiated 909 days ago on 31 May 2022) Requesting closure of RfC for inclusion of Australian Indigenous placenames within the lead and infobox of articles. This discussion has stagnated for long periods of time and there is no new arguments being added. It would be helpful if the closer had knowledge of Wikipedia naming guidelines, notability guidelines, and potentially a basic knowledge of history or linguistics. Poketama (talk) 07:14, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

It would also be helpful if the closer could wade through a morass of discussion caused by a poorly-formatted and vague RfC. What is really needed is a more focused question, rather than some request that Indigenous names must be included in lede and infobox regardless of appropriateness or reliable sourcing. Consensus from experienced editors seems to be that these should be included on a case by case basis according to existing Wikipolicy, rather than mandated. The WP:SPA nature of editor raising the RfC should laso be noted. --Pete (talk) 20:21, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

I edited in a clarification on the question shortly after posting the RfC and I think it can be resolved from the content of the discussion what the result was, rather than re-doing an RfC that has taken months. Users who were unsure of the meaning of the question still gave thorough explanations of their opinions, which can be used to reach consensus.

Additionally, the meaning of the question has repeatedly been explained to Pete. I'll note that Pete is one of the primary parties in the dispute and thanked me for starting the RfC, as well as doing the formatting of the RfC themselves (See here: User_talk:Poketama#RfC) Poketama (talk) 14:01, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Very true. Still the question is poorly formed and the discussion consequently rambling. Making Indigenous placenames mandatory in the lead - for that is the effect your question seeks - is very poor wikipolicy. There may be no reliable sources, and WP:UNDUE always applies. The way forward, as found in discussion aimed at resolving the RfC, is for involved editors to collaborate in writing an essay giving guidance for the case-by-case decisions favoured by most respondents. Your contributions in that effort would be most welcome; this is something we have to get right and opening the gates for crusaders from either side is just going to turn Australian geographical articles into a bitter morass for years as cultural warriors throw stones at one another. We work together to produce a useful and respected encyclopaedia, not to sing our team songs as we piss in our opponents' beer. --Pete (talk) 23:43, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Wish you'd reconsider making your closes the same. Having Biden's intro as "...46th and current president..." & Harris' intro as "...49th vice president..." (when they're both incumbents), isn't ideal & tad messy. GoodDay (talk) 03:10, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Bummer. Just trying to help out with the ANRFC backlog. Not really looking for drama. In the future, I think it'd be better to only publish one RFC with a wording of "should 'and current' be included in the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris articles?" –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:20, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Wanted to do that, but didn't know how to accomplish it. GoodDay (talk) 03:23, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

As has historically been done for other highly contentious and large AfDs, I would like to request a panel closure of this one. It is at 176 kb and rising, with dozens of 'votes'. It would be quite helpful I feel.

It still has about another day to run, but I'm posting it now to give time to make the arrangements and for people to volunteer.

I also posted about this at WP:AN but some editors said I should list it here. Crossroads ^-talk- 04:28, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Italian Social Movement#RFC: Italian Social Movement political position

(Initiated 946 days ago on 24 April 2022) RFC tag expired two days ago, and discussion has stopped since weeks, so it needs a formal closure. Already the OP took initiative and decided the RFC result without a proper closure, and they might try to do this again soon. Yakme (talk) 13:34, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

• This type of allusions (to which the user is not new) seems to me inappropriate and rather out of place. Until now there was a clear consensus for one of the three options, after two months of Rfc I limited myself to realizing the result of the Rfc, it was my prerogative. However, another user intervened today (after the expiration of the RFC, to tell the truth) and this slightly called into question the balance of consensus. Perhaps the best solution would be to further extend the RFC and seek the opinion of other users, to have a more defined result.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 22:19, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Look, I voted for the option you favor, so I am sort of shooting myself in the foot here, but your methods of working here are totally unacceptable. (1) A 5–3 majority is not automatically a proof of consensus, let alone proof of "clear" consensus; (2) it was not your "prerogative" to "realize" the result of the RfC by yourself and also act on it by editing the page accordingly; (3) I don't think it's forbidden for users to give their opinions after the expiration of the RfC, their opinion is still valid; (4) I am not against extending the RFC, however this has already gone for more than 2 months. Yakme (talk) 23:13, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

For me it is quite irrelevant if you consider "unacceptable" a prerogative provided by the rules of Wikipedia. You are free to challenge my interpretation of the result and request closure from an uninvolved user, but not to contest prerogatives explicitly provided by Wikipedia itself.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 07:07, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

You simply do not have the "prerogative" to determine a non-trivial result of an RFC started by you, period. Anyway let's wait for a proper closure. Yakme (talk) 09:17, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:People's_Mojahedin Organization of Iran#RFC: Shortening and reorganize a paragraph in the article

(Initiated 913 days ago on 27 May 2022) This is an RFC about a fairly minor editing matter that may have been better off being discussed in a normal talk thread. The proposer presented a question that was neither a simple yes/no question, nor a clear set of options, but rather is a compound, open-ended question (and on a conflict area page no less). At least one editor called for procedural close precisely because of the lack of clear options. The resulting unresolved mess has been open for three months.

RFCs don't have a hard deadline, and people are continuing to comment even just within the last few hours, plus there are at least a few RFCs on this page that are more stale and will need probably be closed before this one closes (though this list isn't necessarily ordered or in first-come-first-serve AFAIK, correct me if I'm wrong on any of this anyone).

The discussion is likely close to, if not exceeding, six hundred kilobytes. It needs to be closed. 47.21.202.18 (talk) 20:55, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

There is no size limit nor a WP:DEADLINE nor is the discussion stale since several new comments were added today, so, please be patient. It will not close any faster by complaining about it. It's a very large and unenviable task to close it that will take a lot of heavy, not fun, work from several volunteers. It is not proper to keep poking about it. Just forget about it and go away, and eventually, you'll wake up one day to find someone has written a lengthy additional bunch of kilobytes on what they thought of the whole shebang. Consensus is a process, and several voices that have just joined the RFC are valued, long-time contributors. Andre🚐 21:00, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

You’re only saying that because comments are beginning to shift into your favor. The longer the discussion becomes, the more time it takes to sift through the arguments. They can’t reasonably close an RFC where people are still commenting, as those comments also need to be taken into account. Precedent for closing toccomments is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mass killings under communist regimes (4th nomination), where it was closed from comments on November 29, and not formally closed until December 1. This should go the same way. They even removed 8kB worth of discussion. AFDs also don’t have a hard deadline. 47.21.202.18 (talk) 18:00, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

It's not proper to read the tea leaves. The recent comments are just as valid as the earlier comments, and sometimes discussions do shift over time, that is how it works. It is typical for discussions to be closed when they are stale, and everyone has had a chance, and not arbitrarily closed based on a clock. Trust that it will be closed soon and adjudicated fairly. AFDs and RFCs are not exactly the same, though both are consensus- and valid-argument-governed discussions. Andre🚐 21:00, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

With respect to Tranga, I agree with others that we should prefer a panel of administrators especially considering that the last RfC was closed by an arbcrat, an admin, and an admin who later became a crat. Given the potential editorial and political implications of a closure, I think it's best to have closers who have gone through some community election process (see my essay on this topic). On my end, I've reached out to some crats and admins by email to try and find volunteers but am waiting to hear back. — Wug·a·po·des​ 22:47, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Wugapodes, not sure if you're already aware of this, but just in case: you do remember that you !voted in the last RfC on Fox News's reliability? I have no horse in this race, but if you were to be a closer I'm thinking there could be some INVOLVED concerns: perhaps it'd be better to leave it to someone else? (I have no doubts about your impartiality, but for something of this significance the appearance of impartiality matters just as much.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:59, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Just wanted to mention that I plan to close the RfC (see also my prior comment).

Talk:British Esports#Requested move 14 September 2022

(Initiated 803 days ago on 14 September 2022) - Technically this WP:RM has already been closed, but it was closed by the person who made the request. This page move might've actually been OK per WP:RMNOT; however, since an RM was started, it probably would've been better for someone other than the requester to do the close per WP:RMCLOSE#Who can close requested moves. There may also be a conflict of interest involved since the RM requester is listed as a {{Connected Contributor}} at the top of the article's talk page. For reference, I've also asked about this at WT:ESPORTS#British Esports. I only came across this move after seeing that File:British Esports Association logo.svg had been tagged for speedy deletion per WP:F5. I don't think the close was made in bad faith, but only perhaps by a fairly new WP:SPA user who might have a COI and who might not be very familiar with relevant policies and guidelines. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:33, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

(Initiated 829 days ago on 19 August 2022) nableezy - 18:22, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

• I looked at that, and I'm reluctant to close it. The RfC itself, without looking at the background and circumstances, is a "no consensus", and by our rules that ought to mean to restore the status quo ante. But the status quo ante is to include the disputed images, one of which was created by NOTHERE and now-indefinitely-blocked User:Cameltrader, and both of which originate from Israel. Palestine doesn't use them. I do feel that including the disputed claim amounts to a backdoor endorsement of the Israeli claim to Jerusalem, and I think that's incompatible with the outcome of the 2013 RfC and undermines NPOV. So I think that in the circumstances, it needs closing with a supervote to remove the images, but I'm not comfortable with doing that by myself.—S Marshall T/C 13:08, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

  I'm of a similar mind. It's going to come down to onus versus status quo. There is the possibility of looking at the earlier lead consensus and deciding if that has any weight in the current discussion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:11, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:List of best-selling music artists#RfC on listing method of best-selling music artist

(Initiated 829 days ago on 19 August 2022) There has been several AN/I filings surrounding this issue, lengthy discussions aside from simple !votes and policy implications of some arguments presented. I believe the closure needs to be undertaken by an admin or an experienced user with good knowledge of policy. Vladimir.copic (talk) 23:38, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

In this case the RfC generated many messages and several votes during the second half of August, but thereafter its activity declined. I did not close the RfC when it was still active; indeed, although I was daily checking for new messages, I let the 30 days period pass so that users would have as much time as possible to vote until Legobot automatically ended the RfC. During that time, users were able to vote, and there was clear majority support for eliminating the old methodology.

I also checked if any user had extended the RfC before Legobot ended it. After the automatic end, I waited several hours before closing it, and then I waited several more hours (in total about a day and a half) before proceeding with the implementation of the new methodology. For the moment, unless I am asked here to do so, I prefer not to revert the RfC closing as I believe that the time periods have been respected, and I think that what is motivating this request is the implementation of the new methodology on the List and not the ending or the closing of the RfC itself. Salvabl (talk) 23:58, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

@Salvabl you are a heavily involved editor on this topic and in this discussion (making 12 lengthy comments in the RfC). I believe that, given the contentiousness of the topic, it needs an uninvolved editor to close it to ensure that the outcome of the RfC has some legitimacy. Further, your close seems to heavily rely on !votes rather than the extended discussion of which you were a primary participant. I know this isn't the right avenue for to appeal a close so I'm again kindly asking for you to revert your close rather than taking this to WP:AN. Vladimir.copic (talk) 00:58, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay, if the reason for this request is the closing of the RfC, then I will revert it. Please, pardon my ignorance about the RfC process. I think it's good to have more time for more users to express their points of view. I closed the RfC because Legobot had already ended it and no user showed interest in extending it or restarting it; and simply because it seemed to have already accomplished its mission, since activity had declined and consensus had been reached to eliminate the old methodology. Salvabl (talk) 01:22, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#RFC (globalsecurity.org)

(Initiated 807 days ago on 10 September 2022) In my view, there is not clear enough consensus for an involved participant to close the discussion. Not a super long one. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:31, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Heavy metal music#"Misogyny" in lead

(Initiated 921 days ago on 19 May 2022) Needs uninvolved editor to evaluate consensus. --George Ho (talk) 07:26, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

• {{Not done}}. The length of time since the last comment and the subsequent article changes (including a move of the sentence in dispute) make formal closure unsuitable here. Holding a new discussion, or restarting the old, based on the new realities of the article would be much better. Consider this a soft decline: anyone should feel free to re-open this request if they disagree. Pinging George Ho. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:21, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Close review requested in AP / BLP article

(Initiated 788 days ago on 29 September 2022) As far as I know, closure reviews at AN don't have a suggested time frame. This one has been open since 29 September, and it's been five days since the last substantive comment on the central question. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:07, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Iceman_(performer)

(Initiated 774 days ago on 13 October 2022) Hi. An AfD tag was placed on The Iceman (performer) (a page I created/started) on 13 October 2022. I did not agree that it failed WP:GNG and argued the case (resulting in no further comments). I have since worked to increase the article's integrity by adding quality references to The Independent, the Evening Standard, The Stage, and The List. Nobody else contributed to the discussion until the AfD was relisted on 20 October. Since then, one other editor has suggested we keep it. I've tried to engage further but nobody else is contributing in either direction. I also tried to remove the AfD myself but it was reinstated by the editor who originally placed it. Can an uninvolved editor assess the situation and help to make a decision? Personally I'd like to see the article saved from deletion and the deletion discussion closed but I remain open to further discussion/guidance if necessary. Thanks.

{{not done}} This was relisted just over a week ago, it is now queued up in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2022 October 21 - I don't see why this should be prioritised above the six or seven others also awaiting closure. Please let this proceed in the normal AfD process. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:38, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
