By Phoebe

The following is a brief overview of new discussions taking place on the English Wikipedia. For older, yet possibly active, discussions please see our previous edition.

Centralized discussions

• Unreferenced BLPs A proposal to make unreferenced Biographies of living persons speedy-deletable after three months.
• FlaggedRevs autopromotion A poll on the criteria needed for autopromotion for reviewers for Flagged Revisions.

Proposals

• Arbitration policy A new Arbitration draft policy is currently under discussion.
• Merger and Split tags A discussion about enabling the display of the "date" parameter in all Merger and Split tags.

Requests for comment

• Article Rescue Squadron Should templates be within the scope of the Article Rescue Squadron? In particular, should the {{rescue}} tag be applied to templates currently at templates for deletion?
• Mistagged public domain images Most images tagged PD-US or PD-old are incorrect, and will be deleted if they are moved to Commons. What should we do about this?
• Free and Open Source software notability Should we change the notability guidelines for FOSS packages?
