Battle of Polog

Battle of Polog (talk|edit|history|logs|links|archive|watch) (RM)

The result was "Move" where there was no consensus for this. There were three votes "Support" and three "Oppose". The closing editor (or probably admin) said: "and the mentioned WP:CONSISTENCY as well as GHits give enough of a valid reason for us to go ahead and move". These arguments were given by nominator but were contested during discussion. The closing editor did not explain why the nominator's arguments were better than those of other editors involved in discussion. The decision was not fair because there was a discussion but not a consensus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ktrimi991 (talk • contribs) 16:51, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• Closer's note. It's usual practice to discuss things informally with the closer before opening a move review, which didn't happen here, but no matter. I admitted in the close that it was a line call, but ultimately I still think it was the correct close. On the !vote tally, I was disregarded the last "oppose" per WP:RMCI, since it had no explanation attached to it, and the editor in question had not otherwise contributed to the debate. Plus the comment above is not counting the nomination as a support, meaning really it is 4:2 in favour of Support. Beyond that, I was persuaded by the arguments made in support, as I said in the close. The article itself is called Polog, which means WP:CONSISTENCY is satisfied. GHits are less clear, I'll grant you that, but neither side made a good argument on that - both opposes provided false links which claimed to be using a quoted "Battle of Polog" but were in fact not.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:23, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

The last "oppose" had no explanation, while two "Support" are dubious. User: Svetisrdj voted just 46 minutes after User: Axiomus. Svetisrdj had not been active for 12 days, voted and disappeared again. There were only three editors who contributed to the debate: Antidiskriminator (Nominator), Liridon (Oppose) and me (Strongly Oppose). You say you were persuaded by WP:CONSISTENCY argument, but did you really read my counterarguments carefully? Regarding GHits, the results given by nominator were those of Serbian Google Books.

Two editors who voted "Support" just gave the "explanation" per guidelines? Which guidelines? Why did not they cite guidelines they were referring to? Is this really better than no explanation? Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:02, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• Endorse close. This was a judgment call, but within the bounds of a closer's remit per WP:RMCI.--Cúchullain ^t/c 19:55, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
