The Requests for closure noticeboard is for posting requests to have an uninvolved editor assess, summarize, and formally close a discussion on Wikipedia. Most discussions do not need to follow a formal process for closing and summarizing the result.

Talk:Autopsy images of Ngatikaura Ngati#RFC on image inclusion
The following is a live discussion, but may be straying off topic. Please modify it with relevant information. | |||
Needs an uninvolved person to review the discussion and close it, thanks. — raekyt 16:33, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
I've dropped a follow-up note on the closer's talk page, so we'll see if anything further comes from this. -- Trevj (talk) 08:01, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Cunard (talk) 02:57, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
While they might do that, I don't think you can reasonably expect, or ask, a closer to do such a thing. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 17:42, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
|
- "I thought that people were encouraged to question the closer before taking to deletion review." You are correct. It is good practice to ask closers to reconsider their decisions before escalating to a review forum. Not consulting the closer would be in poor paste.
Nathan has reconsidered his close at 03:40, 8 November 2012 (UTC) and decided against amending it. I think your only recourse at this moment is to open an RfC close review at WP:AN. I disagree with Raeky that this would be forumshopping. No one here has affirmed Nathan's close because no one has wanted to wade into this contentious issue and make a unilateral decision to endorse or overturn it. A community review at AN will attract more input because it will not put the decision into the hands of a single user and will reach a timely decision to endorse or overturn Nathan's close. Cunard (talk) 21:02, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- Largely agreed. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 21:37, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- I already said I was fine with the close being reviewed. I was asked to review the close, and I still maintain that the consensus was to exclude the image. I've lost interest in this a long time ago. -Nathan Johnson (talk) 23:17, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- "I thought that people were encouraged to question the closer before taking to deletion review." You are correct. It is good practice to ask closers to reconsider their decisions before escalating to a review forum. Not consulting the closer would be in poor paste.

Talk:Honeywell Turbo Technologies#Biased promotional contents??
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Honeywell Turbo Technologies#Biased promotional contents?? (initiated 10 October 2012)? The opening poster wrote:
In the encyclopedic entry, I don't think there's legitimate need to have a list that selectively show cases the company in a positive light by listing out a fair number of vehicles that performed well in races on mere fact they happened to use Garrett Honeywell components. I think it adds excessive promotional bias while adding very little encyclopedic values. In my opinion, there's excess contents about company's positive high lights and product details that should stay in company's own page or materials for prospective shareholders to read. Please comment
Cunard (talk) 02:28, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Seafood#Naming seafood articles (initiated 26 September 2012)? The question posed was: "Talk:Seafood#RfC: Is seafood a subset of cuisine?"

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Marvel Studios#Distributor for The Avengers (initiated 13 March 2012, see the RfC at Talk:Marvel Studios#Request for comment that was initiated 12 October 2012)? Please review the entire thread beginning from Talk:Marvel Studios#Distributor for The Avengers and consider enclosing the entire discussion in archive templates when closing the debate.

Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Trademarks#Request for Comment: Capitalization
The RfC expired its 30 day limit without formal closure and without clear consensus.--129.22.167.83 (talk) 09:37, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think I can close this as I have a strong opinion - it was started on 12 September. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:51, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons? Please also consider John Carter (talk · contribs)'s comment at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons#Possible wrapup:
I think that it would make sense, sometime in the future, to have the request for comment here be gone over by someone, possibly uninvolved, who could "boil down" the various comments into clear proposals.
This could facilitate a Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons 2, which would have a clearer scope and outcome. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 00:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports#New RfC

1. Does a largest cities template/city population template add value to the articles (esp. featured ones) about nations?
2. If your answer is "yes" to the question above, should such a template contain images of top 2-4 cities in them?
Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:44, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (capitalization)#Request for comment (initiated 26 September 2012)?

Wikipedia talk:did you know#Let's extend the 5 day viability period to 10 days
Needs an appropiate closure. Eraserhead1's closures on DYK caused spark, so any other administrator is recommended. --George Ho (talk) 04:52, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
- Comment: Discussion is now archived at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 86#Let's extend the 5 day viability period to 10 days. Armbrust The Homonculus 04:05, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know why anyone would close anything at DYK to be honest. You guys will just complain regardless and the behaviour was so bad in the last closure that you guys couldn't agree sensible conditions for a review of the last closure.
- Additionally, you, the requester, made no effort to defend either the closure or the review. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 09:18, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- To be clear there is no particular problem with challenging my closure - we all make mistakes. However at the end of the day you guys were responsible for the review request. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 14:26, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lego#Request for comment on creating omnibus articles for sets and themes
Unfortunately particpation was fairly light. Woild like an uninvolved closer as this would effect 60+ articles. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:14, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard#User:Niemti, community ban proposal
This has been open much longer than most ban proposals and should probably be closed now. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:49, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
- As it is behavioural do we need an admin closure here? -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 09:43, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes. WP:CBAN specifically says "administrator." Of course, if certain editors would follow up on a month old [1] hint there would be more admins available to do such closes. NE Ent 14:11, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- I thought I was being nominated, and then I couldn't start it until November as I was away for a couple of weekends. I'll look at it this week. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:43, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes. WP:CBAN specifically says "administrator." Of course, if certain editors would follow up on a month old [1] hint there would be more admins available to do such closes. NE Ent 14:11, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content/Archive_57#RfC:_Album_covers_in_artist_articles
Hi. This RfC is about 2 months old. The bot removed the RfC tag, and the talk page archiver put the discussion in the archives. But we still need an uninvolved editor to assess the discussion and close it. See also this discussion from today about requesting the closure. --Noleander (talk) 18:47, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Television Stations#Request for Comment: Notability of TV station subchannel articles
Would like this RfC to closed or some instruction on how to proceed. The RfC had vary few editors waying in one way or the other. It has about the same number as a previous discussion that an administrator declared to have a "weak consensus" that WikiProject Television Stations has been force to repeatedly flog by a single editor. So if this isn't more than "weak consensus" can the responding administrator give us some direction (besides starting the discussion over) on what to do. Spshu (talk) 20:51, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Genetics/GMO articles

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#RfC on the article layout of Eurovision Song Contest by country articles
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#RfC on the article layout of Eurovision Song Contest by country articles (initiated 13 October 2012)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:28, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
