Revision as of 08:30, 19 February 2016

    The Requests for closure noticeboard is for posting requests to have an uninvolved editor assess, summarize, and formally close a discussion on Wikipedia. Formal closure by an uninvolved editor or administrator should be requested where consensus remains unclear, where the issue is a contentious one, or where there are wiki-wide implications.

    Many discussions do not need formal closure and do not need to be listed here.

    Many discussions result in a reasonably clear consensus, so if the consensus is clear, any editor—even one involved in the discussion—may close the discussion. The default length of a formal request for comment is 30 days (opened on or before 13 June 2024); if consensus becomes clear before that and discussion has slowed, then it may be closed early. However, editors usually wait at least a week after an RfC opens, unless the outcome is very obvious, so that there is enough time for a full discussion.

    If consensus is unclear, then post a neutral request here for assistance.

    Please ensure that your request for a close is brief and neutrally worded. Please include a link to the discussion. Do not use this board to continue the discussion in question. Be prepared to wait for someone to review the discussion. If you disagree with a particular closure, do not dispute it here. You can start discussion at the original page or request a Closure review at Administrators' noticeboard with a link to the discussion page and the policy-based reason you believe the closure should be overturned. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Closure review archive for previous closure reviews.

    Any uninvolved editor may close most discussions, so long as they are prepared to discuss and justify their closing rationale.

    Because requests for closure made here are often those that are the most contentious, closing these discussions can be a significant responsibility. Closers should be familiar with all policies and guidelines that could apply to the given discussion. All closers should be prepared to fully discuss the closure rationale with any editors who have questions about the closure or the underlying policies, and to provide advice about where to discuss any remaining concerns that those editors may have.

    A request for comment discussed how to appeal closures and whether an administrator can summarily overturn a non-administrator's closure. The consensus was that closures should not be reverted solely because the closer was not an administrator. However, special considerations apply for articles for deletion and move discussions—see Wikipedia:Deletion process#Non-administrators closing discussions and Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for details.

    Once a discussion listed on this page has been closed, please add {{Close}} or {{Done}} and a note to the request here, after which the request will be archived.

    Requests for closure

    Requests for comment

    MediaWiki talk:Move-redirect-text#Redr

    Would an uninvolved administrator please assess the consensus at MediaWiki talk:Move-redirect-text#Redr (Initiated 3136 days ago on 12 December 2015)? Godsy(TALKCONT) 19:03, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    This was going to be no consensus or consensus against, but discussion has renewed for a solution that will satisfy the opposition, so this should not be closed yet.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  19:16, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:David L. Jones#RFC: Inclusion of draft sections

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:David L. Jones#RFC: Inclusion of draft sections (Initiated 3137 days ago on 11 December 2015)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 04:25, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Muhammad#What should be included for information regarding Aishas' marriage to Muhammad on the Muhammad article?

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at the RfC at Talk:Muhammad#What should be included for information regarding Aishas' marriage to Muhammad on the Muhammad article? (Initiated 3144 days ago on 4 December 2015)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 04:25, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Closing of this RFC is past due, and the lack of a close has caused contention in dispute resolution. However, closure by a non-Muslim editor would be likely to result in further contention. Request closure by an uninvolved experienced Muslim editor. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:25, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:CobraNet#RfC on manufacturer list

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:CobraNet#RfC on manufacturer list (Initiated 3137 days ago on 11 December 2015)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 04:25, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Archive 65#RfC: Anime films and production companies

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Archive 65#RfC: Anime films and production companies (Initiated 3131 days ago on 17 December 2015)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 04:25, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Political correctness#Generally or primarily or something else

    It was redated once and it's been ongoing for 54 days now, but discussion has pretty much died down. All of the monitors of Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Language and linguistics voted for a third option, "often": 1, 2, 3 and 4. Current article lead hasn't existed for very long so nothing is yet "stable". --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 23:57, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    eraser Undone I apologize for not explaining well enough but the point was to finally assess concensus as either or, not just closing it. I'll undo the closure in await for someone to actually decide either or. If there is no result it shall just be redated and reopened and the discussion and RfC continued because that is the proper procedure if there is no result yet, not closure. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 09:48, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Removed done tag so this will not be automatically archived by the bot. Cunard (talk) 05:31, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Séralini affair#RfC Regarding content scope and neutrality

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Séralini affair#RfC Regarding content scope and neutrality (Initiated 3134 days ago on 14 December 2015)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 05:31, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    not done as further edits seem to have overtaken the last participation in the RfC so as to make formal assessment unnecessary unless a participant requires. Ncmvocalist (talk) 08:51, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree with not closing the RfC. I think it is helpful to answer these two questions:

    1. Should we include the mention that Seralini's papers have been published in the peer-reviewed literature?

    2. Should we include the studies which are discussed - or within the actual scope, of this article?

    The discussion seems contentious which is why I'm not closing it myself. Cunard (talk) 19:29, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia talk:Special:Preferences#RfC: Change Default Math Appearance Setting to MathML

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Special:Preferences#RfC: Change Default Math Appearance Setting to MathML (Initiated 3135 days ago on 13 December 2015)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 05:31, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:List of ministers of the Universal Life Church#RFC: Reliable sources

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:List of ministers of the Universal Life Church#RFC: Reliable sources (Initiated 3116 days ago on 1 January 2016)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Snooker#RfC: Does the use of self-published sources in snooker articles violate BLPSPS and SPS?

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Snooker#RfC: Does the use of self-published sources in snooker articles violate BLPSPS and SPS? (Initiated 3111 days ago on 6 January 2016)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–50)#Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–50): RfC on lede passage

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–50)#Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–50): RfC on lede passage (Initiated 3119 days ago on 29 December 2015)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:"Polish death camp" controversy#Request for comments

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:"Polish death camp" controversy#Request for comments (Initiated 3111 days ago on 6 January 2016)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Josip Broz Tito#RfC January 2016

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Josip Broz Tito#RfC January 2016 (Initiated 3110 days ago on 7 January 2016)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Campus sexual assault#"The majority of rape and other sexual assault victims do not report their attacks to law enforcement."

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Campus sexual assault#"The majority of rape and other sexual assault victims do not report their attacks to law enforcement." (Initiated 3102 days ago on 15 January 2016)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Why is an early close being requested? Robert McClenon (talk) 06:20, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Robert McClenon, maybe because, in the Proposals section, editors have reached an agreement. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:36, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Flyer22 Reborn. Today is the 30th day after the RfC was opened, so an RfC close will no longer be early. Cunard (talk) 19:29, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Vehbi_Koç#RfC_on_the_Kasapyan_estate

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Vehbi_Koç#RfC_on_the_Kasapyan_estate (Initiated 3107 days ago on 10 January 2016)? Étienne Dolet (talk) 07:07, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Statewide opinion polling for the Republican Party presidential primaries, 2016#RfC on inclusion of Overtime Politics polls

    Would an uninvolved editor assess the consensus at Talk:Statewide opinion polling for the Republican Party presidential primaries, 2016#RfC on inclusion of Overtime Politics polls (Initiated 3107 days ago on 10 January 2016)? 108.2.58.56 (talk) 17:23, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Super-easy close: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#"winningest" in sports articles (Initiated 3103 days ago on 14 January 2016)

    We actually drafted and !voted on a 5-point consensus (with notes than need not be part of the close), at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Can we wrap this up?. While this could be allowed to just expired into the archives, it would be convenient to have a formal close, because the thread, and its derailed sub-thread about clarifying MoS's meaning with regard to formal/encyclopedic language, is holding up re-opening a "clean" discussion on the latter point, unpolluted by "winningest"-related bickering.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  08:01, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Two RFC's need closing

    One is snow close Talk:Muhammad#Remove 'founder of islam' reference. The other needs a cool headed admin(preferably knowledgeable in Islam) who is willing to read the entire RFC and is able to deal with the fall out later on. Talk:Muhammad#RFC for opening sentence in the lede. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:16, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Village_pump (policy)/Archive 125#Two edit filter RfCs: Modifying existing filters and enabling the block function

    A two part expired RfC, should be a fairly easy close. Sam Walton (talk) 10:54, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:List of state leaders in 2016#RfC: Inclusion of Palestine as a sub state of Israel

    We need an experienced editor/admin to look at this RfC. The initial question concerns the way in which Palestine is listed on this page, though the question also has implications for other leaders of unrecognised or partially recognized states, and for leaders of sub-national entities (constituent countries of the Netherlands and so forth). It also impacts on related pages (List of state leaders in 2015, etc...). I should note that a couple of editors have questioned the phrasing of the RfC itself. Appreciate that this is a complex one but a careful eye is needed to suggest how to proceed! --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 21:20, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Requested moves

    Talk:Genesis creation narrative#Requested move 22 January 2016

    Open for 25 days. The discussion has petered out, and there is a clear consensus that it can be closed now. But this is a highly controversial issue, and has been the subject of numerous previous requests. Looking for an experienced, careful, and brave admin to close the discussion.

    • User:StAnselm, I think you need to butter any prospective admin up a bit more. Drmies (talk) 17:14, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • StAnselm, help me out here. I have it 15-11, if I skip the intermediary polls, one of which I closed and the others I have yet to assess. Oppose: In ictu oculi, StAnselm, Polentarion, Tiggerjay, StevenJ81, JudeccaXIII, Simon Burchell, Graeme Bartlett, InsertCleverPhraseHere, BobKilcoyne, agr (ArnoldReinhold), Srnec, HokieRNB, H. Humbert, Amakuru. Support: Theroadislong, First Light, Doug Weller, Moxy, Hy Brasil, RGloucester, Rwenonah, Scjessey, Jonathan Tweet, Jess, jps. Note: I have friends and lovers on either side, so I think I can be unfair to both sides. I'm not saying, by the way, that I'll actually finish this: it's a beast.

    Actually, you missed Basileias as an oppose in the main discussion. But I found the opinion poll quite confusing, and I some editors voted only in it, so Darkfrog24, 172.58.225.118, StevenJ81, Deryck C, Roches, Dmcq, Dweller, and Maher-shalal-hashbaz should be added to the "opposes", with Leonhard Fortier, Röbin Liönheart, Khajidha, James, Dimadick, Keahapana and AIRcorn added to the supports. Also, First Light is clearly an oppose rather than a support. StAnselm (talk) 18:37, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    That's why I asked you, to copyedit. Thanks. Yeah, I did not look/count in those sections yet. I have some doubts about that IP, and will ping User:Bishonen. Wait, I just did. Drmies (talk) 18:45, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I see that I left out Martin Hogbin as well: I failed to copy him and Basileias from my list in Notepad. Drmies (talk) 18:47, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
