The Closure requests 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 appears unclear, where the issue is a contentious one, or where there are wiki-wide implications, such as when the discussion is about creating, abolishing or changing a policy or guideline.
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 20 June 2024); if consensus becomes clear before that and discussion has slowed, then it may be closed earlier. However, editors usually wait at least a week after a discussion opens, unless the outcome is very obvious, so that there is enough time for a full discussion.
On average, it takes two or three weeks after a discussion has ended to get a formal closure from an uninvolved editor. When the consensus is reasonably clear, participants may be best served by not requesting closure and then waiting weeks for a formal closure.
If the consensus of a given discussion appears unclear, then you may post a brief and neutrally worded request for closure here; be sure to include a link to the discussion itself and the {{Initiated}} template at the beginning of the request. Do not use this board to continue the discussion in question. A helper script is available to make listing discussions easier.
If you disagree with a particular closure, please discuss matters on the closer's talk page, and, if necessary, request a closure review at the administrators' noticeboard. Include links to the closure being challenged and the discussion on the closer's talk page, and also include a policy-based rationale supporting your request for the closure to 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. Closers who want to discuss their evaluation of consensus while preparing for a close may use WP:Discussions for discussion.
A request for comment from February of 2013 discussed the process for appealing a closure and whether or not an administrator could summarily overturn a non-administrator's closure. The consensus of that discussion 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#Non-admin closure for details.
To reduce editing conflicts and an undesirable duplication of effort when closing a discussion listed on this page, please append {{Doing}} to the discussion's entry here. When finished, replace it with {{Close}} or {{Done}} and an optional note, and consider sending a {{Ping}} to the editor who placed the request. A request where a close is deemed unnecessary can be marked with {{Not done}}. After addressing a request, please mark the {{Initiated}} template with |done=yes. ClueBot III will automatically archive requests marked with {{Already done}}, {{Close}}, {{Done}} {{Not done}}, and {{Resolved}}.

Requests for comment
(Initiated 390 days ago on 25 June 2023) originally initiated 25 June 2023. The previous close was vacated and the RFC re-opened on 13 August 2023. Discussion has now dried up, and a close is needed. Note to the closer, the discussion is broken up across the two sections, a result of it being re-opened. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 17:47, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
(Initiated 377 days ago on 8 July 2023) After the previous closure was vacated, this RfC is once again in need of closure. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:50, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
(Initiated 348 days ago on 6 August 2023) The discussion came to a natural end, but as the issue is contentious we'd benefit from someone uninvolved assessing the consensus. Tercer (talk) 06:50, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
(Initiated 338 days ago on 16 August 2023) Would be good to get this closed so this can get added to WP:RSP. The discussion was somewhat contentious, so it would be good to an experienced closer. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:51, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- This just got archived, but it would still be good to get a close on this one. —siroχo 05:08, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
(Initiated 327 days ago on 27 August 2023) There's been plenty of discussion on this topic and it will require an experienced editor to close. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 13:51, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
(Initiated 326 days ago on 28 August 2023) This is approaching 30 days an is ready for a close. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 13:42, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
