Revision as of 16:38, 19 November 2019
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, 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 24 April 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 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 the discussion ended to get a formal closure from an uninvolved editor. When the consensus is reasonably clear, participants may be best served by not requesting and then waiting weeks for a formal closure.
If consensus is unclear, then post a neutral request here for assistance.
Please ensure that your request for closure is brief and neutrally worded, and also ensure that a link to the discussion itself is included as well. Be prepared to wait for someone to act on your request and do not use this board to continue the discussion in question.
If you disagree with a particular closure, do not dispute it here. Please discuss matters on the closer's talk page instead, 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.
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.
To reduce editing conflicts and an undesirable duplication of effort when closing a discussion listed on this page, please append {{Closing}} or {{Doing}} to the discussion's entry here. When finished, replace it with {{Close}} or {{Done}} and an optional note which allows archiving of the completed request.

Administrative discussions
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive314#Request for reclosure of RfC on Tulsi Gabbard's BLP (Assad/Modi)
(Initiated 1766 days ago on 24 July 2019) Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive314#Request for reclosure of RfC on Tulsi Gabbard's BLP (Assad/Modi)? This is an RfC close review that was archived without closure on 6 October 2019. Like deletion reviews, RfC close reviews should be formally assessed to determine whether the RfC close was correct or incorrect. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 08:36, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Propose 1RR for AP2 for Snooganssnoogans
(Initiated 1655 days ago on 12 November 2019) - discussion seems to have died down. There were only 2 votes on 15 November, and 0 votes on 16 November. Before that there were 19 votes on 12 November, 20 votes on 13 November, and 10 votes on 14 November. That's over 50 votes in at this point. starship.paint (talk) 06:07, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

- Since the RfC is about the creation of an edit filter, I'm leaving a note at the edit filter noticeboard requesting that it be closed by an edit filter manager; it seems pretty clear that the consensus is for the creation of a filter, but such a decision could only be enacted by an efm. --DannyS712 (talk) 01:32, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

(Initiated 1690 days ago on 8 October 2019) Seeking a formal closure by an uninvolved editor. I believe the consensus is quite clear but because this will codify a specific understanding regardin MFD and CSD:G13, I am seeking a formal closure so that editors substituting their judgement are met with consensus based rejection.

Talk:Bell Media Radio#Streaming radio network affiliation?
(Initiated 1689 days ago on 9 October 2019) Would a non-involved editor/administrator please assess the consensus for this expired RfC, which Legobot dropped? There seems to be no opposition, but it would be nice to have this assessed, possibly wrapped in the optional RfC closure tags of your choice. Alternatively, if you know of a way to restart the RfC, that would be fine as well. Thanks. --Doug Mehus (talk) 18:53, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Dmehus: Legobot "dropped" it because thirty days had elapsed. WP:RFC#Restarting an RfC explains how an RfC may be extended. But if nobody (other than myself, who frankly doesn't care about the matter) commented there the first time, the chances of more people coming along are small. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:36, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- Redrose64, Thanks, as a non-involved participant, can you close it as "no opposition" in more than a month? I just want something to go back on if I make the changes and it gets reverted, I can say that it was proposed without opposition—of course, someone is welcome to restart a new discussion, but at least we'd have some consensus determination on file.
