Talk:Duck Dynasty#GQ section needs condensing

I'm not sure I'm doing this right, but I'd like to try! lol... There was a proposal to condense the GQ section that has been idle for almost a week and a half... I'd like to have an uninvolved editor close the request... Thank you Nickmxp (talk) 16:06, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Duck Dynasty#GQ section needs condensing (initiated 9 January 2014)? See Talk:Duck Dynasty#RfC: Should the "GQ controversy" section be condensed as proposed above? (initiated 15 January 2014). Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:19, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

 In progress One major participant was a sockpuppet of a banned user, and it's not clear if a formal close is still necessary. Currently waiting for replies on the talk page. Sunrise (talk) 20:20, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
After a close and few days with no responses to see if any additional summary is needed, I'm inclined to call this one closed. I, JethroBT drop me a line 16:32, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. Sunrise (talk) 07:28, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Graphs and charts#Creating a guideline for graphs and charts on articles

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Graphs and charts#Creating a guideline for graphs and charts on articles (initiated 22 December 2013)? The opening poster wrote:

Let's start a discussion on this RFC to reach consensus and set up the way for future editors. The question is: how should graphs on Wikipedia be created?

Please consider the closed RfCs Talk:Alejandro García Padilla#Should we include graphs about Puerto Rico's economic behavior under the Governor's tenure? and Talk:United States#Inequality, tax incidence, and AP survey in your close. These two related discussions were mentioned in the RfC. The latter close was contested and upheld at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive258#Closure review request.

Talk:Georgism#Influenced by Georgism

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Georgism#Influenced by Georgism (initiated 10 August 2013). See also Talk:Georgism#Influenced by Georgism RfC (initiated 4 January 2014), where the opening poster wrote: "Ought this article include people who have stated any support of land taxes as being 'influenced by Georgism' without any sourcing linking the term to those people?" Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:19, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Catholicism#List of Roman Catholic XXX

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Catholicism#List of Roman Catholic XXX (initiated 15 January 2014)? The opening poster wrote: "I am calling an RFC for this, to establish consensus for a widespread change which I wish to make. ... Regarding articles in Category:Roman Catholic-related lists: should Eastern Catholic entities be separated out into new articles, or should the existing articles be renamed minus "Roman" to bring them into conformance with consensus and categorization practice in Catholic Church-related articles?"

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sports#RfC: How should articles on national sports teams handle gendered teams? (initiated 16 January 2014)? The opening poster wrote: "There has been a long-running dispute at Talk:Australian national association football team that has spiralled out into a number of requested moves, ANI threads and much else besides." The question posed was: "should articles about national sports teams include "men's" or "women's" in the title?" Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:19, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#RFC: Month abbreviations

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#RFC: Month abbreviations (initiated 13 January 2014)? The questions posed were:

  1. Shall month abbreviations be limited to the first three characters of the month, or may a fourth character be used?
  2. May a month abbreviation be followed by a full stop when it is not at the end of a sentence?
  3. Shall WP:Manual of Style#Months and seasons and WP:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Acceptable date formats be required to agree on this point?

Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:19, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

This RFC has been running over a month, and discussion has died down. There is a contradiction between the "Manual of Style" and the "Manual of Style/Dates and numbers" about whether when a month is abbreviated to to limited space, it must be three characters without a period ("Sep") or whether "Sept." would be allowed. User:BattyBot (at least) has been making corrections based on "Sept." being unacceptable, and many of the cite templates mark dates containing "Sept." as invalid dates. Please assess the consensus so that bot and template writers will have clear guidance about what dates are or are not proper. Jc3s5h (talk) 23:48, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Requesting an uninvolved editor to close this MOS-related discussion. Familiarity with the two relevant MOS documents, WP:Manual of Style#Months and seasons and WP:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers, is recommended. Please note that abbreviated months are allowed only in certain circumstances; this RFC did not address those circumstances (it took them as a given), only the format of the abbreviations themselves. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:41, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Ronan Farrow#Mia Farrow / Frank Sinatra Extramarital Affair

Can an admin or experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Ronan Farrow#Mia Farrow .2F Frank Sinatra Extramarital Affair? We have had a 12 day discussion with 6 editors weighing-in with their opinions and I feel this is ready for a neutral assessment, which another editor has repeatedly suggested I am unable to provide. For that reason I believe a neutral closure review is necessary to mitigate the potential of hard feelings. BlueSalix (talk) 23:52, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

After closing the RfC, please add the RfC to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct/Archive.

The opening poster wrote:

I am requesting User:PrivateWiddle to stop using his new signature, which appears to be a calculated method of insulting female wikipedians whilst purporting to be referring to Scotsmen. It's true that some people may find his official user name also to be offensive, but that does not concern me here.

Talk:Airbus Group

Would an uninvolved editor please look at a rather complicated multi-page move, which was discussed in three successive sections of the Talk:Airbus Group talk page:

Cheers. N2e (talk) 14:33, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I think this can be archived now. The discussion died prior to the official closing of the last topic. All three topics feed into each other and are discussed in the subsequent topics. Therefore, I would say that the close by Cuchullain (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) is sufficient for this discussion. TLSuda (talk) 21:21, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
@N2e:, do you still want, that the first two sections are closed? Armbrust The Homunculus 07:24, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
@Armbrust: Well, thanks for asking. The articles should never have ended the way it did. The "no consensus" on the third step of the process (by Cuchullain) was correct: there was no consensus for the move, then or ever. I would have thought the process should have then gone back to the second step and continued backing out the non-consensus changes. However, the article got left in the moved/merged state, with the non-consensus merge left in place, simply for one reason: the original non-consensus merge involved some page moves etc. that, at the time of the BRD (in the second of the two items above, the BRD on recent page merge) it was decided to temporarily leave the move/merges in place while the discussion continued. In other words, it was temporarily decided to leave the move/merges in the Bold state, rather than the more normal Reverted state, even though there was not a consensus to support the Bold move/merge. Thus, when Cuchullain closed the third item, an inquiry should have been started on the second item (BRD), closed that, and then moved back to the first item, the original non-consensus move.
As a result, Wikipedia has no article at all on the (important, large, globally-operating) historically-important company EADS, which existed for over a decade from the 2000 to 2014. Instead, our readers are directed to the name of another large pan-European company (Airbus Group) that does exist now in 2014, and was partly composed of some of the divisions of the old European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company. It is a bit complicated, but that result ought never to have happened, per the lack of consensus for it on the relevant discussion pages. N2e (talk) 12:58, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

I agree with N2e (talk · contribs).

From Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Determining consensus:

However, sometimes a requested move is filed in response to a recent move from a long existing name that cannot be undone without administrative help. Therefore, if no consensus has been reached, the closer should move the article back to the most recent stable title. If no recent title has been stable, then the article should be moved to the title used by the first major contributor after the article ceased to be a stub.

Note that according to Wikipedia:Consensus#No consensus:


Therefore, if a page has been moved from a longstanding title, and it is not possible to move the page back to its original title during the discussion, the default title will be the title prior to the contested move.

Cuchullain (talk · contribs) concluded that "no consensus" had been reached in the requested moves discussion.

I believe that his conclusion of "no consensus" was correct but the result of not moving the article back to its stable title seems to conflict with the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Determining consensus.

Cuchullain (talk · contribs), would you take a look at this again? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:15, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Sure. As I told N2e some time ago, I decided against moving back to EADS because there had been a merge with a convoluted edit history. A simple move would have had the potential to move all this complicated history to EADS, while also leaving the name "Airbus Group" (the name of the currently existing company) as a redirect to the old name. I recommended reopening the discussion at a later time in hopes of attracting a wider participation. Additionally, if a restoration is really desired, perhaps someone could draft new material for an Airbus Group article so we don't just send readers looking for it to EADS. At this point, however, nearly 3 months have passed. I think that's well past the time we should be reconsidering previous closures; as I say I think it will be more productive to start afresh.--Cúchullain t/c 20:23, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
What Armbrust was really asking: do the two previous discussions require closing, or does (my opinion) the closing of the last section enough of a formal closure since all discussions were considered. The move/merge issue is different and anyone with the ability can perform that. This board is for closure requests, and it seems like this is closed properly to me. Am I correct in my opinion? TLSuda (talk) 01:28, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
Yes, I would say so.--Cúchullain t/c 16:32, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Cannabis (drug)#RfC:Google hits vs reliable sources

Discussion on this seems to have died down and this could now do with closing. As commented in the RfC I'd ask any closer to consider the comments in the RM as well in closing the RfC as the RfC is essentially a continuation of that discussion. As the closer of the move review on this topic I think it would be best if the RfC was closed by someone else. Dpmuk (talk) 17:06, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

 Done Closed. But it looks like another move discussion has opened up today.... Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 02:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
Incompetently closed! This close is an embarrassment. Based on the complete lack of any analysis or even a recital of the major points offered in support or opposition, it's not clear the TLSuda even read the entire discussion. When a serious debate has been this contentious, it should be obvious that if you're not willing to put the work into doing an appropriate close, you shouldn't be doing it at all, especially when you don't think the question even matters, as is apparent in TLSuda's remark, "I sincerely recommend that editors should fully consider whether continuous opening of discussions on the name for this article is at all productive." I've asked that TLSuda undo his close and allow someone who actually is willing to put in the effort to do the job right. Otherwise, I think we're headed back to a Move Review. Msnicki (talk) 03:20, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
I responded to your accusation of an "incompetent close" on my talkpage. I read the whole discussion, not once, but three times; the whole discussion, from the original move to today. Its mostly needless garbage of editors repeating themselves with different words. The consensus is to keep it at Cannabis (drug). If you are seriously wanting to open yet another move review to be opened right after a new move discussion has started you are just causing more work for everyone simply because you are unhappy with the outcome. You can't keep pushing this just because you don't agree. Take a chill and drop the stick. TLSuda (talk) 03:28, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
I have posted only a single requested move on 4 Jan 2014 and I have been waiting patiently for that same discussion to be closed by someone who will take the debate seriously. By your own words, labeling it "silly", you do not. If you can't take a question seriously (as the participants on either side of the debate obviously did) you have no business closing it. You should have left it for someone who could take the question seriously.
I had nothing to do with Moxy's decision to open RFC proposing substantially the same move question (but less constructively) while the first move review was still underway. I thought he should have waited for the review to finish and I said so at the time. When the move review was closed as overturn rather than relist, it was because that RFC was just a continuation of that same debate and still open. I also had nothing to do with this latest requested move. You're simply painting with a broad brush that anyone who dares debate article titles must be wasting time.
I've requested review at WP:Move review/Log/2014 April#Cannabis (drug). Msnicki (talk) 04:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
You are grossly over exaggerating what I've said. I said that it is "silly" to keep bringing the same argument up over and over without new information just because you don't like it. Productive discussions are never silly, but continuous beating of a dead horse is. You many not have agreed with the new RFC, but you've created the same situation by having a move review and a move discussion simultaneously. You obviously aren't stop complaining until you get your way. TLSuda (talk) 10:42, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
I have not exaggerated anything. I simply quoted you. Your exact words were, ""This is silly. Stop wasting everyone's time arguing over this nonsense. Go do something productive."
You, otoh, paint with a broad brush. I have not been "bringing the same argument up over and over". There has been exactly one debate over one RM, albeit disjointed into an RM + an RfC, but not because I had anything to do with starting the RfC. When the RM was closed as move the first time, there were complaints (a) that the closer should have been an admin because only an admin could do the move given that the target was protected, (b) that the closer injected his own research (some Google n-grams analyses) and that if he wanted to do that, he should have !voted instead and (c) that the closer had not paid enough attention to a claim by those opposing that marijuana and cannabis differ because marijuana does not include hash.
Virtually all the repetition was of the claim that marijuana and cannabis differ, since that was the only objection left standing. But I was not the one making that claim and I am not responsible because other editors repeat themselves. I merely fact-checked the claim every time it was repeated, e.g., pointing out that the sources claimed to support the claim not only did not support it, they refuted it. My own comments did offer new information, e.g., sources showing that marijuana does include hash and additional tables of search results.
More to the point, if you think some of the discussion in the RfC was repetitious, so what. There were lots of !votes and lots of arguments that were not repetitive. Further, we do not discard arguments merely because they are repeated. This is not about whether I get my way. It is about whether a lazy, drive-by close of a contentious debate by an editor who thinks the debate is silly is appropriate. Realistically, if you had posted your close as a !vote, it would likely have been ignored as WP:JUSTAVOTE, which I think ought to be telling as to whether this was an appropriate close in the first place.

Since this is not just a template matter, should it not be advertised for community-wide attention, using the {{RFC}} template? Since the meaning is unclear and there is no clear consensus, perhaps it would also be useful to close this local RfC and reword it before presenting it as a community RfC, clarifying that the request also applies to similar templates, such as {{Infobox former country}} (it is particularly relevant to Nazi Germany, which links to two audio files, one of which is a recording of a Nazi song that is banned in several countries, possibly presenting problems for use of Wikipedia in an educational context) and clarifying the various points on which an opinion is needed

Could an administrator have a look at this page and consider a close? I would have closed it myself but I think it is important in the event of any future disputes that it is done as properly as possible.

As another user wrote above, there does seem to be a broad consensus in that all but a very small number of users agree with the arguments presented, but, according to the wishes of those in the discussion, it would be preferable if it were closed formally.

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Pablo Casals#Request for comment (initiated 1 March 2014)? The opening poster wrote:

The cellist Pablo Casals is typically known as Pablo Casals in English texts, but as Pau Casals to Catalan speakers. The established consensus on Talk:Pablo Casals is for the article Pablo Casals to use Pablo, but the issue of which name to use on other articles has never been properly discussed. There exist some Wikipedia articles related to Catalonia that mention Casals. For some of these articles, the original editor happened to use the name Pau. My question for editors is whether the less common Pau should remain in these articles without any clarification that Pau Casals is actually the famous Pablo Casals. As far as I can see, there are three possibilities:

  • Option one: change Pau to Pablo
  • Option two: keep Pau and include a note that Pau Casals is Pablo Casals
  • Option three: keep Pau and remove any mention of Pablo

I have included below further information about the history of the dispute, evidence confirming that Pablo is the common name and copies of relevant Wikipedia guidelines.

Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2014 March#Black crowned crane

Wanted: An admin with the courage to essentially disregard all of this text and make the outcome dependent on the broader RfC on bird names. Since the MRV hinges on competing views of naming conventions, which that discussion can settle, there is little value in keeping it open. If I were the closer, I might add a disclaimer that the MRV can be revisited if the RfC results in no consensus (still early days, but this seems unlikely). --BDD (talk) 22:17, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

I think it's probably time to close the RFC as well at this point: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#A new proposal regarding bird article names—Other than some offsite canvassing going on, I think new input is petering out. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 20:55, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
Love to, but I have no idea which of the ten gazillion topic specific closure templates to use. Drop me a note on my talk page and I will do the needful. Guy (Help!) 22:54, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
The move review was closed by JzG (talk · contribs), but the bird article name RfC still need closure. Armbrust The Homunculus 11:42, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
I will close it in about 12 hours. I'm writing the close now. DGG ( talk ) 05:14, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:List of automobile marques#Proposed merger from List of automobile manufacturers

  • Requesting closure of this dated discussion. NorthAmerica1000 01:35, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Just archive it, nobody's going to object. Guy (Help!) 21:47, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi User:JzG: Yes, but this would require leaving the merge templates on the List of automobile manufacturers and List of automobile marques articles into perpetuity. NorthAmerica1000 01:06, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
You can just remove them. The request failed, there was virtually no input, it was a long time ago. A classic case for an uncontroversial non-admin close. Guy (Help!) 11:44, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Yugoslav Front#Requested move

This discussion has been extended once before, it's at the very bottom of RM backlog, and it's high time someone closes it. The raw tally now is, AFAICT:

  • Yugoslavia in World War II
    • 11 support
    • 8 oppose
    • several alternative suggestions (split, ...)
  • Yugoslav theatre of World War II
    • 5 support
    • 6 oppose
  • National Liberation War
    • 1 support
    • 10 oppose
    • several comments (disambiguate, ...)
  • World War II in Yugoslavia
    • 12 support
    • 4 oppose
  • Military history of Yugoslavia during World War II
    • 1 support
    • 4 oppose
  • Resistance in Yugoslavia
    • 2 support
    • 4 oppose

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Battle of Berlin#RFC on Soviet rapes (initiated 7 March 2014)? The opening poster wrote:

1. Is inline attribution needed for the sentence "During, and in the days immediately following the assault, in many areas of the city, vengeful Soviet troops (often rear echelon units) engaged in mass rape, pillage and murder" ?
2. Should the article include the sentence "These claims are criticized by Russian historians like Oleg Rzheshevsky, who stated that such descriptions of the Red Army are similar to the images instilled by Nazi propaganda" ?

Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:15, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
It is important to know that the way the RfC was worded was biased and misleading. The wording does not accurately represent the dispute on the talk page. The user who hastily created the RfC quickly commented in it himself without understanding the dispute.
Then there was a third question added later, after some users already commented.
Also, the first question did not make it clear that the issue was inline attribution, and many users thought it was inline citation.
Can someone just close the RfC as invalid. I hope to resolve the dispute using dispute resolution. -YMB29 (talk) 18:38, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
This actually ended on its own on April 6. It didn't violate any policy as YMB is trying to assert.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 01:43, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

I didn't think you were talking to me. I made no indication to make you think that. This area is for closing RFCs and other things. Not invalidating them. Pushing pov does nothing here. Since the RFC is over you have nothing complain about.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 20:02, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

WT:AFC (Where to direct new AFC submissions)

Request closure of this proposal/RFC. Discussion has been closed twice before at 8/0 and 14/1 consensuses and now stands at a 23/1 consensus for changing the output of the Article Wizard's "Create to Articles for Creation" action to point at the draft namespace. Multiple editors have already observed the very obvious consensus that exists in this consensus building discussion with the opposition being lead by a singular editor. Hasteur (talk) 18:26, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Friendly ping for Technical 13 to be aware that I am requesting early termination of the RFC under very obvious consensus conditions. Hasteur (talk) 18:26, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
The technical concerns I have raised have not been answered, the RfC is barely a few days old and no where near the 30-day RfC standard, and the developer that was specifically requested to comment on the RfC has not done so as of yet. Three good reasons why this RfC should not be closed prematurely. NODEADLINE implies there is no rush to get this done before the other technical requirements to make it work properly and not cause more of a backlog and confusion than the current proposal would result in and those things need fixing first. I'm not opposed to the consensus to get the project moved into the Draft namespace, I'm probably the leading proponent for it, as long as all the pieces required are done in an appropriate order. Putting all drafts, past, present, or future into Draft namespace before all of the technical aspects of the namespace are fixed will cause all kinds of doom and gloom and crash the internet, send satellites plummeting to Earth, shut down power grids globally, ... , or something like that... — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 19:58, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
It would be really helpful if someone uninvolved could take the time to look this over and decide if it's ready to be closed or not. There is a fair amount of reading involved. I have strong opinions about this myself, so I can't do it. As I understand it, RFC's can be of any length; 30 days is not a standard, only a software default upper limit so that RFC templates aren't accidentally left forever on a talk page through neglect. —Anne Delong (talk) 12:58, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (people)#RfC: Subject preference

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (people)#RfC: Subject preference (initiated 26 March 2014)? The opening poster wrote:

In discussions related to the titling or stylizing of names of people, especially for BLPs, the subject's preference often comes up. See, for example, the current discussion at Talk:Giovanni Di Stefano (fraudster)#Requested move 2. The principle has been applied previously to articles such as danah boyd and k.d. lang, and in the case of lowercase names, this is already MOS-supported; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Items that require initial lower case. However, there doesn't seem to be general language recommending weight be given to a subject's preference in such determinations. I believe limited language to this effect could be beneficial in future discussions, and would follow the spirit of WP:BLP (this would apply to all biographies, though it might be of more interest for BLPs). Offhand, I know libraries give a great deal of weight to subject preference in authority work. I'm not sure what other fields deal with such cases. Journalism, perhaps? The major caveat worth noting in any language inserted into NCP is that the subject's preference needs to be supported by other usage as well. So any assertions that a particular person prefers a particular form of name need to be supported, rather than accepted at face value. The language I have in mind would resemble that at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ethnicities and tribes)#Self-identification, though whether it would be better to say subject preference should be "considered" or "preferred" is something that I'm willing to leave to discussion.

Thanks, Cunard (talk) 09:24, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

This discussion is still ongoing and contentious. The original RfC has concluded (there's no RfC tag there any longer), with the result that various different proposals have been made and a new RfC is being formulated.

No formal closure appears to be necessary. Out of four sections to the RfC (the fourth being the "Closure" section), three have already been closed by editors of the article.

Closing a discussion isn't the same as placing it between a {{archivetop}} and {{archivebottom}} tag. It needs a summary of the discussion too. Armbrust The Homunculus 10:32, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
The RfC was closed weeks ago [17] by a participant, evidently in the understanding that there was no consensus for the proposed change, as is clearly expressed in the meta-discussion about that closure, and consequently the change in the article has not been made. There have been no further edits on the matter as far as I can see, and no attempts to revive the discussion, so the closure appears to have been generally accepted by those involved. That's a valid outcome and I see no reason to add anything to it now, so I will treat this as no longer actionable and will re-archive this request here. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:11, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

A close is necessary because this has been discussed repeatedly:

  1. Talk:List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming/Archive 29#Judith Curry (initiated 22 October 2012)
  2. Talk:List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming/Archive 31#Judith Curry 2 (initiated 9 January 2014)

Here are several suggestions:

  1. Please consider the previous discussions in your close.
  2. Please link to the previous discussions in your close so they are all aggregated in one place on the RfC that will determine whether Judith Curry should be kept or removed from the article..
  3. Please consider either announcing your closure on the talk page or unarchiving Talk:List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming/Archive 33#Judith Curry 4 and then closing it.

The list currently contains Judith Curry. If your conclusion is no consensus (having not read the discussions, I do not know), please consider whether BLP (specifically Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Restoring deleted content) results in the material being omitted by default in the absence of a clear consensus to include it.

If BLP does not cause the material to be omitted by default, then please consider whether the status quo is to keep or omit the entry. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 10:15, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
