(Initiated 1667 days ago on 20 April 2020) – Could we get a quick close and move for Nova Scotia killings → 2020 Nova Scotia attacks? This appears to be a WP:SNOW situation. There seems to be a clear consensus that the current name is inappropriate, though there may be continued discussion of a "final name" for the article down the road. This article concerns a mass shooting/killing, so it would be nice not to leave the poorly chosen initial title there longer than we need to. Thanks--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 17:55, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- I believe only an admin can do this now, as the page is semi-protected.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 22:23, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- To editor Darryl Kerrigan:
Not done: so sorry, that is not a good example of a snow closure because there is significant opposition. While a cursory glance seems to be a consensus among supporters, we should wait until the move request has run at least seven days. P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 22:42, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, I am not the only one there that said it was a WP:SNOW. There seemed to me to be a clear consensus to move away from the general and poor title of Nova Scotia killings which is obviously too broad to one which was less so, but I fully admit as I did above (and there) that there will need to be continued discussion about the final name (ie whether we refer to this an an attack, killings, a mass shooting etc). I guess the perfect will have to be the enemy of the good for now.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 22:52, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- To editors Darryl Kerrigan and Paine Ellsworth: - I'm sorry, but by my count it's 42 support, 10 oppose, 4 other. If that's not WP:SNOW, what is? NickCT (talk) 05:42, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- It looks to me like a clear consensus, but not quite a SNOW situation. Still, it continues to befuddle me why we have this rule that RMs need to be kept open for 7 days before being closed. The consensus is not going to change in that time, and waiting just keeps the RM notice polluting the top of the article and the article title unchanged to the better one (particularly with the addition of "2020", which is nearly universally supported). @Paine Ellsworth: as someone who doesn't have any particularly strong opinion about attacks vs. killings, I'd support you just going ahead with the move. WP:IAR it if you need to, but leaving the proposal open for the sake of following the rules clearly does not make Wikipedia better. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 10:22, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

- To editor Sdkb: as you yourself said, "not quite a SNOW situation", and that is what was asked above, to close an infant RM under SNOW. The rules are there for a purpose. There have been too many times when a discussion was closed prematurely, and then reopened because editors, or even just one editor, thought that more talk was warranted. Several times I've seen RMs that took a turn in the 4th or 5th day, and that's why any controversial topic should allow for the discussion to peter out. Seven days is not the main rule, the main rule is for discussion to ebb, to subside. P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 21:40, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Paine Ellsworth: In that case, would there be a provision that'd allow you to keep the discussion open but make the move (at least for the 2020 part) now under a "prevailing" rationale. I can appreciate that further discussion might be useful, but this seems like way more of a WP:DEADLINEISNOW situation than a WP:NODEADLINE situation — the view count is likely going to fall drastically in the coming days. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 21:51, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- Only a trusted admin should make that call. I don't think it's ever wise to slam the door on an ongoing, active discussion, not for any reason. P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 22:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

(Initiated 1667 days ago on 20 April 2020) Please close Talk:Nova Scotia killings#Requested move 20 April 2020 and move the page. In my view this is more of a WP:DEADLINENOW situation as this concerns a recent high profile mass shooting and there appears to be a strong consensus that the current title is insufficient and vague. The previous closer here, determined that we must wait seven days. Please close and move when that deadline passes.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 21:58, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Concur - I concur with this request. --Jax 0677 (talk) 02:32, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- This request is premature, given that not every discussion needs to be listed here, as opposed to relying on the users monitoring Wikipedia:Requested moves#Backlog. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:37, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- With the greatest of respect, nothing about this request was premature. Sometimes the best way to get to a final result is to moderately improve something, while continuing to discuss how it could be made better. Good enough for now, lets keep talking about how to improve it further. Our bureaucratic systems, prevent that and tend to discard the "good" solution while we get further and further bogged down in what the perfect solution is... making it harder to reach the "perfect" solution anyway. We would be much further along if this was just moved, while we continued to discuss alternatives. Sometimes it is okay to dispense with a few rules in order to build a better encyclopedia. Strict interpretation of the 7 and 30 day waiting periods is a good idea when there is no deadline but crippling when there is.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 19:20, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- To editor Darryl Kerrigan: apologies and respect right back atcha; however, it begs the question why didn't you just boldly rename the page rather than opening a move request that had a minimum 7-day waiting period? P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 14:14, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- I was under the impression that given its current protection level only an admin or page mover could move the article, based on Crumpled Fire's statement there. Is that wrong? Based on those discussions, between the editors there, I followed Nnadigoodluck's suggestion to ask for the move here and not at WP:RM/TR. As they had discouraged NickCT from doing so. Perhaps, that was poor advice.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 15:44, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- All makes sense. When the edit screen is opened we find that editing protection (semi) expires on the 28th of April, and the full move protection expired at about 4am on April 23. That was about 3 days after the request was first opened. Any experienced editor can now close the discussion and, if that is the decision, can rename the page in 2 days or so. Seven days is the minimum, so it might go longer than that since there is a backlog. P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 19:55, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

- @Darryl Kerrigan:
Strict interpretation of the 7 and 30 day waiting periods
For RfCs, 30 days is a misinterpretation as I understand things. That's the time when the RfC is automatically de-listed by the bot, not a recommended duration. There is no guidance suggesting a 30-day duration for RfCs, and editors can re-list it if they feel that the issue would still benefit from more eyes. Although this discussion is not about an RfC, I felt this should be pointed out here due to the widespread misunderstanding of this point. ―Mandruss ☎ 04:36, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

- There is currently no consensus as despite there being a larger amount of support votes, a vast majority of those votes indicate their support for a move, but offer several different titles than the RM proposal. As that is getting is no where, Best to close as no consensus and open an RfC with the several options that have been offered for people to choose from. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 04:37, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

(Initiated 1708 days ago on 9 March 2020) Not a complicated close, and the merge has already been implemented. It just needs an official close from an uninvolved editor. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 08:43, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- Flyer22 Frozen, RexxS basically closed it already as I think you know, maybe not officially but like a WP:SNOW close. More stating this for admin so they realise this can be speedily and uncontroversially be closed.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 20:25, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- That is not a close. And it's clear that RexxS was cautious about officially closing it, which was the right call, given how involved RexxS is in the discussion. Yes, RexxS boldly merged the articles, but RexxS still did not do an official close; RexxS clearly stated, "Whatever the details of the eventual closure, it is apparent that there is overwhelming support to merge the two articles into one." Notice the part I bolded. It doesn't even matter that RexxS merging the articles goes against RexxS's vote; I still I don't think it's good or best that RexxS officially close it, just like I wouldn't think it's good or best that either of us officially close it. If this were not a controversial RfC, it would be different. But it was a controversial RfC, with you and another editor arguing differently from others. Editors have disagreed on what is WP:SNOW and aspects of WP:Closing discussions. Furthermore, with the way the RfC is now, late responses could pile on, as they have in other RfC cases before the RfC was closed in a way that no new comments could be added to it. I don't see that you needed to make the above comment. I clearly stated, "Not a complicated close, and the merge has already been implemented. It just needs an official close from an uninvolved editor." I don't want to now argue over how the RfC should be closed. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 04:16, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

- This is a tricky one because there is a clear consensus to go against the policy at WP:AT, and the discussion is being carried out at a WikiProject level, so its closure could have far-ranging implications. My gut instinct is that this calls for an amendment to AT and/or an addition to WP:NCTV (which currently does not have any advice on official vs colloquial names), but it's possible that the appropriate call at this time is to start a new discussion at WT:AT. I'd appreciate input from editors that have made similar closures before. signed, Rosguill talk 21:25, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

(Initiated 1658 days ago on 29 April 2020) Request for procedural close RfC questions are supposed to be neutral and brief and the question for this RfC is not. It includes incorrect claims as well as non-neutral attacks against editors who have opposed the nominator's POV and what essentially are unsubstantiated claims of canvassing by those same editors. Accordingly, this RfC should be closed. Please see my comments at the RfC for more information. --AussieLegend (✉) 03:20, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

BLP issue at Allegations against Joe Biden
(Initiated 1658 days ago on 29 April 2020) There's been an extended talk page discussion and poll, after an editor several times replaced an image of Biden's accuser -- which had been in place since near the time the article was created -- with a compound image in which Biden is shown alongside the accuser. Could a BLP-oriented Admin please have a look at this and advise as appropriate. After a brief respite with talk page discussion underway, the side-by-side illustration was again substituted this morning, so a timely review would help us move forward one way or the other. Thanks.

Various topics may require assessment: A) is there consensus for/against a split/fork between 'Climate Change' and 'Global warming' B) Is there consensus to start a rename proposal for either of the two options on the table B) is there consensus to wait a period of time for more developments/research before making an official move.

- {{nd}} @Femkemilene: The discussion has been archived and participants seem to have reached the conclusion that they should wait (for several years?) before making a decision. I would be uncomfortable closing a discussion that has been archived, such a close may come as a big surprise to current watchers of the page who may have wished to participate, and even some of the participants who may have believed the issue had been allowed to die. RfCs that are still live should be pinned to the talk page using {{pin section}} to prevent bot archiving. No prejudice against unarchiving the discussion and resubmitting.

- Hi Cunard, I noticed that you restored this discussion from the archive and then listed it here for closure. This discussion was actually an ordinary discussion and not an RfC. If you believe a formal closure would be helpful, that is totally fine, but I think this request belongs in the #Other types of closing requests section. Thanks for keeping all of the RfCs in order – it's something I really appreciate! — Newslinger talk 10:00, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, Newslinger (talk · contribs), and thank you for the excellent work you've done at WP:RSN and WP:ANRFC! I have moved this close request from the #RfCs section to the #Other types of closing requests section. There has been substantial discussion about the reliability of the source, so I think a close would be helpful to determine whether the source can be used to verify the proposed material. If you think the issue is already resolved or a close would not be helpful, I am fine with withdrawing this close request. Cunard (talk) 10:20, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

So I am re-adding this request for a speedy close. I closed this after there were 8 votes against and only one for (the opener), and editors had suggested the editor put down the stick, noted it was invalid and bias, and requested it be withdrawn. The opener has refused to get the point and now reverted that close. Again, they demand the right to refuse to follow the previous consensus (and blatantly clear consensus already apparent in this one) while they run the clock on this RfC. This disruptive behaviour has to stop.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 22:15, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

(Initiated 1610 days ago on 16 June 2020): Could an administrator please close Talk:Lady_Antebellum#Requested_move_16_June_2020 in 1 day? The closer must be careful not to rely on "Support" vs "Oppose" and take care to read the policy arguments of each responder; the wording of the move request was changed half way through so it no longer reflects the original intention of the vote. Responders throughout have made their arguments clear nevertheless, so their opinion on what to do with the page can clearly be inferred and I believe consensus can be clearly determined. Should the result be to move, the existing page at the new location should likely be moved with suffix "(disambiguation)".

(Initiated 1616 days ago on 10 June 2020) A clear consensus has developed on this with just 2 editors supporting the change of the article title from Formula One to Formula 1. Due to a clear consensus and the fact that the same arguments are being repeated I proposed ending the RfC at Talk:Formula One#Proposed closure where that was supported 7:1. As an involved party I don't feel it's appropriate to end it myself given that one editor has vocalised their opposition to that proposed action. Therefore I request an uninvolved admin review this discussion for possible closure. This RfC was opened straight after an unsuccessful RM: Talk:Formula One#Requested move 1 June 2020. Concerns were raised that the discussion had not got going until several days into the RM, but this is not the case and again a majority voted for no change in article title.

- My thoughts: there's no responses, so it's probably appropriate to relist. You could perform an uncontroversial move I suppose, but I imagine that article doesn't get any attention. There are a lot of articles like this (see Category:Baronets in the Baronetage of Great Britain). There is a guideline on this (for baronets) at WP:NCBRITPEER, stating
However, if the name is ambiguous and the baronetcy is the best disambiguator from other people with that name, use the full style as the article title
. Given that there's 2 other baronets and one other MP with this name (see George Duckett), I'd imagine that guideline suggests to retain the nobility in the title. Given that article has no attention, it's probably best to notify WT:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility) after it's relist, for some opinions on the matter. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 22:08, 2 July 2020 (UTC)- Reply - @ProcrastinatingReader:, I can not relist this due to WP:INVOLVED. --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Per WP:RMCI, "If you are involved, you may solicit a closure, you may comment, you may make a move request, and you may relist the move request, etc., but you may not close a move request." (emphasis added). If it's a close call, I generally choose to not relist anyways, but if it's as clear of a relist as this, go ahead and relist! Best, --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 15:30, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

(Initiated 1632 days ago on 25 May 2020) Would an experienced editor kindly assess consensus at Talk:Donald Trump#Mention of coronavirus in lead, Take 3? Take 4? Take 5?? — JFG talk 09:32, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- JFG, I don't believe formal closure is required.
- This discussion is one of brainstorming, in response to an RfC where the closer suggested the normal consensus process be followed to generate a more refined list of options. The aim of this discussion should be, and initially appeared to be, to generate suggestions of a more refined list for an upcoming RfC. That said, I believe the question is poorly formulated, and hence turned into a mess.
- Inclusion of the (a) point has distracted discussion. There may be a weak consensus to include a mention of coronavirus. 10 reasoned responses were in support. The opposes fall mainly into two camps: those who do not support agreeing to a vague notion of "something" being added (2 responses), and a second camp which actually oppose inclusion of the content (8 responses). The main reasons for opposition to inclusion are: the issue being faced globally and not being Trump-specific (5 responses), and it being too soon (4 responses).
- But the point of this discussion (per part (b) of the question, and prior RfC closure) seems to have been to decide on some options on how the coronavirus should be mentioned. Yet, only two proposals have been presented in this discussion, and neither gained sufficient support. Two previous discussions on the matter, 1 and 2, failed to reach consensus on the same issue. Neutrality and perceived bias were presented as concerns in each of the 4 discussions.
- As the point of the discussion was meant to be for brainstorming, for a future RfC, I don't see formal closure being required, other than perhaps to encourage editors to move onto a new section with a better formulated question. I leave the ultimate decision to close to someone else. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 18:47, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your analysis. Indeed the discussion is going nowhere. Sounds like a "no consensus" close would make sense, but I'm too involved to do it. If you're not willing to formally close, perhaps you could just copy your conclusions there as a comment. — JFG talk 06:49, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- My only concern here is that this isn't really an RfC; it's a brainstorming exercise, albeit one that has lost track of its purpose. I can see why closure would be helpful - to encourage editors to move to a new section which doesn't lose track of its purpose - but I'm not confident enough as to what would be the most helpful outcome to make the decision. It'd be best for someone else to make the decision on whether to close, or what else to do about it. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 15:10, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

(Initiated 1623 days ago on 3 June 2020) Would an administrator please assess the consensus for this RfC, because it seems to me nothing new can be said regarding the issues at hand. I dunno how much should I describe the discussion, but I'll say that a large percentage of responses are based on a lack of understanding of WP policy, guidelines (MOS:ETHNICITY) and also of some plain facts. Thank you, Notrium (talk) 01:11, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

(Initiated 1594 days ago on 2 July 2020) Was no clear consensus on all issues in the lengthy discussion which had the participation of 18 people, close requested by Pyxis Solitary. Hemiauchenia (talk) 13:44, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Also see this and this. Given that the majority of participants stated that it's reliable, with an emphasis on WP:CONTEXTMATTERS, I disagree with the "no consensus" assertion. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 04:46, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- I questioned the archiving of a non-closed discussion wherein so many editors participated and Hemiauchenia offered to request a closure on my behalf.
However, as for "no clear consensus
": I do not agree.
Not including the OP, 18 editors commented. (The OP asked about the "reliability of AfterEllen news articles" and about "using it as a source to provide information about a relationship on BLP articles" -- but did not get involved in giving their opinion on it being either reliable or not generally reliable.) I counted 9 editors who find the source reliable; 4 that don't; 1 that sees its reliability as a case-by-case basis; 1 as "marginally reliable"; 1 that does not like pro/con determinations but whose opinion about it was overall favorable; 1 whose comment was about the OP - not about the source; and 1 who responded to a comment - but provided no other opinion. All who consider it reliable have WP:CONTEXTMATTERS in common. It's clear that antipathy towards the website is based on its coverage of trans-related issues, with comments such as "not reliable on trans gender issues" and "source should only be used for providing opinions on pop-culture matters, not on transgender people."
In Wikipedia, for sources considered biased in any area and for any biased statements made by any source there is WP:BIASED and WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 08:13, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- My point about "No consensus" is that there was no clear consensus related to all issues, if the consensus was unanimous then there would be no point formally asking for a close. Ultimately it is for the closer to assess the discussion, rather than simply relitigate it here. Hemiauchenia (talk) 08:41, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- You stated that "if the consensus was unanimous then there would be no point formally asking for a close." And yet, for RfCs and move discussions, formal closes are usually done even if the matter is a WP:SNOW case. They are usually made even if every person voted something like "support." Given Pyxis Solitary's comment above, it's clear that she didn't feel that a close was needed because she thought there was no consensus. All that stated, this was not an RfC. So other than editors seeing a closing statement about most editors considering AfterEllen reliable but that it should be used with context and ideally not as the sole source for a contentious BLP matter, there is no point in having a formal close. That is clear by this discussion I pointed to. It's not like AfterEllen is going to be listed at WP:RSP after this one formal close...unless the matter is reconsidered. Apparently, it needs at least one more discussion after this, although I don't see what would change in a year or two, or a few months from now. The only thing I could see changing is more "not reliable" votes based purely on ideological stances. WP:Consensus is clear that consensus on Wikipedia is not about unanimity
(unless it's something like a WP:RfA). It's about the strength of the arguments. And the strength of the arguments in this case is clearly with AfterEllen being reliable in context, such as commenting on issues that concern or affect lesbians, and especially with WP:In-text attribution when it's the best option. There is no need for "clear consensus related to all issues." That is why WP:CONTEXTMATTERS was cited by multiple editors. The "reliability as a case-by-case basis" and "marginally reliable" votes are still "it's reliable" votes. But oh well. We'll see if a fair close comes out of this. Would rather not go to WP:Close review. - To everyone, please don't ping me if you reply. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 03:32, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Given Pyxis Solitary's comment above, it's clear that she didn't feel that a close was needed because she thought there was no consensus.

With this RfC, I’m hoping we can resolve the issue of infobox inclusion criteria, which remain hotly debated for this and other primary elections, such as the Republican primaries.
, and statesWhich of the following criteria should be used to determine which candidates are to be included in infoboxes on United States presidential primary election pages, including those for ongoing elections?
, which implies the scope of the RfC to be larger than just the Democratic Party primaries. In which case, has this discussion been properly advertised to other parties which may have an interest? I would imagine the topic to be within the scope of, and of particular interest to, the Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes, Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums and 2020 Republican Party presidential primaries (it seems there was a similar separate RfC for the Republican primaries). I don't think there has been the proper advertisement to assume consensus for the broad change requested in the RfC, but consensus for a local change can be ascertained.

- @ProcrastinatingReader: That's fine. Can you go ahead and close it with the local consensus? My intent was to advertise it to a wider audience, but I decided not to when it quickly got wrapped up in an ongoing argument between two editors. It started to become difficult to discuss anything other than the issue directly at hand. No discussion was had at any point regarding infoboxes on other election pages, so I'll go ahead and strike those parts of my question. — Tartan357 (Talk) 21:00, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- Please be careful about casting aspersions. I disagree that bringing the discussion to BLPN was forum shopping.

It was also important to try to make sure this wasn't simply a local consensus of editors who watched the page. Springee (talk) 13:32, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Springee: You have created two parallel discussions, which now have some participants in common but not all; I am sure that many of those who participated in just one were unaware of the existence of the other discussion. The BLPN discussion (created second) has no link whatsoever to Talk:Steve Bannon, whether to the discussion itself or to the page in general; the article talk page discussion has a single link to the BLPN one, not added by yourself but by Atsme (talk · contribs) at 22:03, 21 August 2020 (UTC). Both discussions are now quite lengthy, and I was not the first to call WP:FORUMSHOP on this. Having started the discussion st Talk:Steve Bannon, it would have been quite proper (and well within WP:MULTI) to place a notice at WP:BLPN which linked to the one at Talk:Steve Bannon. That's a notice, not an invitation to run two discussions simultaneously. Templates such as
{{please see}}and{{fyi}}are available for this. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:38, 28 August 2020 (UTC)- I understand that some of the editors who were one the other side of the contentious discussion claimed forum shopping. However, my BLPN question was a general policy question. It did evolve into a largely Bannon specific question but it didn't start as such. Sometimes it is helpful to separate the specific content question from the more general question of generic policy. A number of editors did answer the generic question if policy. The same editor who called forum shopping also is trying to get ONUS changed after a related discussion regarding ONUS and adding the disputed content. Note that at the end of this I proposed a RfC to put the question in one place, on the article talk page. This was in part because despite the disputed consensus no editors had taken the initiative to get an independent review. It also would have made a clear question and a clean discussion to evaluate. I'm ok with this closing method instead as I was there primary concern was an independent assessment. Still, a RfC could have resulted in a cleaner discussion especially as some arguments became more refined over time or might be less relevant as the body text changed. However I understand the argument that a RfC would generally prevent closure for at least 30 days. That is part of why I proposed first vs just acted. It gave others an opportunity to look for alternative closure. Springee (talk) 10:43, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

The consensus is (IMO) pretty clear, and – as the initiator already wrote on 11 August – : "At this point perhaps a speedy close is in order...dont see what more could be said." I concur in this assessment (except I'd call it a "snow close"); prolonging the discussion seems pointless.
The reason why I am asking for an uninvolved editor to close this RfC is that the discussion became somewhat heated at times. --Lambiam 21:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Lambiam, I have reviewed the discussion as an uninvolved administrator and I am inclined to let it run for the full 30 days before closure. WP:SNOW should generally be used in exceptional and overwhelming circumstances; see Wikipedia:Snowball clause § What the snowball clause is not. Because this is an RfC on the status of a page as an official guideline, and because there is neither truly overwhelming support nor exceptional circumstances, I recommend waiting the full 30 days before closure. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 07:14, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Kevin. Might now be a good time for a (normal) formal closure? The expired RfC tag has been removed and the last contribution to the discussion was 16 days ago. --Lambiam 18:31, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
(Initiated 1565 days ago on 30 July 2020) Would an uninvolved editor or admin please assist in closing the discussion? Even with only 3 editors voted in agreement, the proposal will affect approximately 250 pages in a particular category and its subcategories. I wouldn't mind a relist as well but there has been no other responses even after sending a follow up notifications on the various wikiproject's talk pages some three weeks later after the initial notification. – robertsky (talk) 11:47, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Just came here to add this, but it's already here. I was going to request an administrator, however. I'd say this one is the most important of all the discussions from that page listed here. Crossroads -talk- 03:37, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
(Initiated 1543 days ago on 21 August 2020) This very contentious discussion is starting to wind down. It was highly active initially, but few new points have been raised in the past few days. Still, it would be alright to wait a little longer if that seemed appropriate. Whoever takes this on, be aware that you will very likely receive messages. I strongly suggest requesting closing arguments before coming to a decision. Ender and Peter 21:15, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

(Initiated 1614 days ago on 12 June 2020) Would an experienced editor please assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 169#Left sidebar update follow-up? The discussion is the follow-up to the items that the closers of WP:SIDEBAR20 identified as needing further discussion to reach consensus, so the initial discussions there may be taken into account alongside the pump discussion. The matters under discussion are the new editor introduction page as well as various tooltips. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 20:22, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

- @Jax 0677: - (1) I don't think that this discussion produced any clear result. It hardly had a clear direction either. (2) the article seems to already mention the details of the shooting, so in my opinion, no closure is needed. I think this request can be archived, what do you think? starship.paint (talk) 03:51, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
