Wikipedia:Non-free content review

This discussion forum has an extensive backlog where the oldest active entry was started on 10 June 2015 ({{Initiated|10 June 2015}}), and at the time if me posting this request, the page has 163 discussions that have yet to be closed, several started over a month ago. Steel1943 (talk) 19:10, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Please update {{Initiated}} below as the backlog is (slowly) taken care of.--Aervanath (talk) 19:35, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
(Initiated 3241 days ago on 13 June 2015)
About 155 discussions still to be closed.

Since this discussion board is now deprecated, and there will be no new discussions opened there, I would appreciate some help clearing the backlog.--Aervanath (talk) 21:56, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

  • I just "did" about 3 of them. For the ones where I believe could really use more discussion, I've been relisting them on WP:FFD (but not in huge droves as that would overwhelm the daily subpages over there.) Steel1943 (talk) 21:59, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
  • We're getting close to having all these discussions closed. NFCR is now down to 100 open discussions. Also, in November, NFCR was shut down to new requests, directing new requests to WP:FFD; when all of the discussions are closed from NFCR, the noticeboard will be closed and marked as historical. Steel1943 (talk) 18:52, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Finally  Done. Thanks to everyone who helped clear the backlog. Steel1943 (talk) 15:54, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

A consensus at an RFC is the result of 30 days of discussion. The bot continues to invite editors. There is no need for an early close. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:24, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Genesis creation narrative#Requested move 22 January 2016

Open for 25 days. The discussion has petered out, and there is a clear consensus that it can be closed now. But this is a highly controversial issue, and has been the subject of numerous previous requests. Looking for an experienced, careful, and brave admin to close the discussion. StAnselm (talk) 18:53, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

  • User:StAnselm, I think you need to butter any prospective admin up a bit more. Drmies (talk) 17:14, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
  • StAnselm, help me out here. I have it 15-11, if I skip the intermediary polls, one of which I closed and the others I have yet to assess. Oppose: In ictu oculi, StAnselm, Polentarion, Tiggerjay, StevenJ81, JudeccaXIII, Simon Burchell, Graeme Bartlett, InsertCleverPhraseHere, BobKilcoyne, agr (ArnoldReinhold), Srnec, HokieRNB, H. Humbert, Amakuru. Support: Theroadislong, First Light, Doug Weller, Moxy, Hy Brasil, RGloucester, Rwenonah, Scjessey, Jonathan Tweet, Jess, jps. Note: I have friends and lovers on either side, so I think I can be unfair to both sides. I'm not saying, by the way, that I'll actually finish this: it's a beast. Drmies (talk) 17:37, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
Actually, you missed Basileias as an oppose in the main discussion. But I found the opinion poll quite confusing, and I some editors voted only in it, so Darkfrog24, 172.58.225.118, StevenJ81, Deryck C, Roches, Dmcq, Dweller, and Maher-shalal-hashbaz should be added to the "opposes", with Leonhard Fortier, Röbin Liönheart, Khajidha, James, Dimadick, Keahapana and AIRcorn added to the supports. Also, First Light is clearly an oppose rather than a support. StAnselm (talk) 18:37, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
That's why I asked you, to copyedit. Thanks. Yeah, I did not look/count in those sections yet. I have some doubts about that IP, and will ping User:Bishonen. Wait, I just did. Drmies (talk) 18:45, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Bernie Sanders#Request for comments -- religion in infobox

One of the longest and most contentious RfCs I have ever seen. We are really going to need one or more uninvolved admins who are willing to wade through this huge pile of material, apply the 20 or so policies and guidelines that have been invoked, determine consensus, and then write a crystal clear closing summary. No matter what the closing admin does, there will be complaints, appeals, attempts to re-interpret the closing comments, refusal to accept the result, and in all likelihood accusations of antisemitism. Be prepared for a shitstorm on this one.

--Guy Macon (talk) 03:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

@Guy Macon:  Done. I'm expecting to see a related thread at WP:AN, and I'm OK with that. If I've missed or overlooked something important, or if there is new information that has surfaced since that discussion that would alter consensus, I'm glad to engage in that discussion and revisit my close. I, JethroBT drop me a line 09:53, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
I have a strong tendency to accept rather than challenge RfCs unless the closing admin made a glaring error, which is not the case here. Lacking infallibility, I am not so foolish as to think "I disagree with this decision" somehow equates to "the decision was wrong". That being said, I would have liked a fuller explanation as to how WP:CAT/R ("Categories regarding religious beliefs or lack of such beliefs of a living person should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief in question (see WP:BLPCAT), either through direct speech or through actions like serving in an official clerical position for the religion.") was satisfied without any self-identification through direct speech by Bernie Sanders. Your comment that "Participants who supported the inclusion of 'Jewish' in the religion field of the infobox argued that several sources support the claim that Sanders identifies as Jewish." leads me to suspect that you believe that "I am Jewish" has has the same meaning as "I am a member of the Jewish religion". Do I understand you correctly? I am not trying to re-argue the RfC, just to understand the reasoning behind the close. --Guy Macon (talk) 10:18, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
@Guy Macon: "I am Jewish" or "I am proud to be Jewish" by itself is ambiguous. Lacking context, it cannot be reliably equated with "I am a member of the Jewish religion." I was merely summarizing that many arguments referred to this point of self-identification. However, some sources where Sanders talks about being Jewish contained sufficient context to make it clear that religion or faith was being referred to specifically, in contrast to some other definition. I, JethroBT drop me a line 10:48, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
OK, thanks. Good close. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:12, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

I had to dig to find the discussion in Talk:Bernie Sanders/Archive 6 (that page is already up to Archive 11!) – a bot archived the discussion on February 25. I believe the question is what to show for political party affiliations in the infobox. The most recent change to that appears to have been made at 14:12, 9 February 2016, so that piece of the infobox has been stable for a month now, and I endorse it as a reasonable reflection of the consensus.

Talk:List of state leaders in 2016#RfC: Inclusion of Palestine as a sub state of Israel

(Initiated 2998 days ago on 11 February 2016)

We need an experienced editor/admin to look at this RfC. The initial question concerns the way in which Palestine is listed on this page, though the question also has implications for other leaders of unrecognised or partially recognized states, and for leaders of sub-national entities (constituent countries of the Netherlands and so forth). It also impacts on related pages (List of state leaders in 2015, etc...). I should note that a couple of editors have questioned the phrasing of the RfC itself. Appreciate that this is a complex one but a careful eye is needed to suggest how to proceed! --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 21:20, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

 Not done - Discussion still ongoing.--Aervanath (talk) 08:30, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
@Aervanath: The discussion is over and the result is zero consensus for change, per the lack of prior discussion to the Rfc & the misleading and biased nature of the Rfc question.--Neve–selbert 17:25, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
The only reason to close this RFC would be that it is misleadingly and non-neutrally worded, in which case it can be closed as incapable of producing consensus. Otherwise it can be left open for 30 days. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:21, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
@Neve-selbert: As of this writing the most recent contribution to the RFC is only 30 seconds old. Convention is to let RFCs run for at least 30 days or as long as it takes to reach consensus, whichever is longer. The discussion is only 11 days old at this point. I skimmed the discussion; while the initial RFC could have been better-worded, my impression is that the majority of contributors are not biased by the wording of the RFC. I don't see anything there to convince me to close it early. There is no rush.--Aervanath (talk) 19:57, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
@Aervanath: The contributors to the survey are simply unaware that they are opposing the status quo, they believe that they are opposing a change to the status quo instead. This is the fundamental flaw & another reason as to why the Rfc should be closed ASAP.--Neve–selbert 20:06, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
@Neve-selbert: Like I said, in my skimming of the discussion, the contributors seem perfectly aware of the implications of their statements. I see no need to close early, I see no fundamental flaw. Let the RFC run out its normal course, please.--Aervanath (talk) 22:18, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
@Aervanath: Would the result be binding? This is totally confusing, there are overwhelming flaws with the Rfc. The contributors are supporting keeping the status quo while at the same time supporting changing the status quo and vice versa (whichever way you look at it). Surely, that is a cause for concern.--Neve–selbert 22:27, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
@Neve-selbert: The result would be binding if there was consensus for any particular result. That's how consensus works. I (or whatever other admin eventually closes the RfC) will not look at whether people are for or against the "status quo", but will look at what people think the article should look like going forward. If there is a consensus for what the article should look like, then it doesn't matter what the status quo was.--Aervanath (talk) 12:09, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

AFAICT, there are four (!) RfCs on essentially the same subject. This one and Wikipedia talk:Videos/Archive 1#RfC: Full-length films/videos in articles are about embedding videos in general, while Talk:A Free Ride#RfC: Replace embedded hardcore pornographic movie with link to Commons? (closed, but under appeal) and Talk:Debbie Does Dallas#RfC: Placement of video are about individual videos, both of which are pornographic. Sunrise (talk) 22:33, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
There was also this discussion which was based on a complete misunderstanding of how embedding works and what it is for. Without speculating on their motivations, several editors have gone off half-cocked and started discussions without first understanding the implications of changing the standard parctice of embedding public domain movies in articles about those movies. Even the most recent RfC does not explain how embedding works and as a result editors are voting based on assumptions about bandwidth usage or movies playing automatically. I've just about given up on this issue. Right Hand Drive (talk) 21:03, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

See the subsection Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Images#RfC: Should the guideline maintain the "As a general rule" wording or something similar?. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 04:16, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I've fixed your initiation date to be the actual date for the RFC.
It's not clear to me whether this actually needs an official closing statement. The disputants seem to have moved on to other subjects, and that particular line of text in the guideline seems to be stable now. It might be better to have people spend time on discussions that need help. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
In my opinion, it needs official closing to settle this dispute. If this dispute comes up again, and it likely will, it will be good to point to the recent consensus on the matter...one with an official close. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:06, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

There is nothing that can be accomplished there. It's a huge pile of sewage now, and it's just getting bigger and smelling worse by the minute.

Consensus is fairly obvious to close down PUF and merge it with WP:FFD. The closure should be uncontentious, but the enacting of the results will require some work. Posting this here so if anyone wants to go through the grunt work of closing down and marking "historical" the PUF process and then redirecting users in the relevant documentation to WP:FFD, they can get started on that. Also, someone will have to move the backlog of cases from PUF (or clear them) as well. Thanks for any help! --Jayron32 18:44, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

The only major differences between the referenced section and the PUF to FFD merge are that no venue is getting renamed and the changes that will need to be made to AnomieBOT's function are slightly different (the bot will have to stop making daily subpages for PUF after the merge has been finalized.)

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lead section#Request for comment: Identification of train or railway stations in the lead

We need an experienced editor to assess the discussion in the above link. The difference of opinion lies in whether an article about a train station, or railway station, should begin with simply the name of the station (for example, "Culver City") or whether it should begin with the title of the article, like "Culver City station." Discussion has tapered off; recent remarks have simply repeated the arguments made earlier. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 17:34, 7 March 2016 (UTC) (Initiated 2987 days ago on 22 February 2016)

BeenAroundAWhile, it's obvious that editors prefer option #1, but your RFC, despite being on the talk page for a guideline, never included any sort of proposal to change the words in the guideline. I'm therefore uncertain what you're looking for: Someone to officially decree that editors prefer to begin articles about train stations with "Gotham train station is..." instead of "Gotham is..." at a rate of approximately 10:1? That seems pointless to me, but it could be done. Did you want someone to add a "rule" in MOS:LEAD about the One True Wording™ for the first sentence of articles about transit stations? There is no sensible place to do that. MOS:LEAD is for all the articles, not for one subject area (or even two or three subject areas). WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:35, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
@WhatamIdoing: This is a good point. It would seem like possibly the place to put this result would be WP:STATIONS (after adding a 'Lead' section there actually, it looks like the new addition would go in the 'Structure' section there, which already discusses the lead). But I agree with BeenAroundAWhile that the consensus on this one is clear, and the result of this RfC needs to be "codified" somewhere... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:23, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
WikiProjects pages are a bit like user pages; we can't demand that a particular group of editors declare that they recommend what other people have decided. However, if it had been me, I would have started the discussion there. (Also, I would have split their limited advice on to a subpage and tagged it with {{WikiProject style advice}}.)
I do not see the point of "codifying" anything here. The English Wikipedia explicitly, by policy, does not have legal codes. The point of closing a discussion is to help people figure out what the result of that one-time discussion was – assuming that they need any help, which in this case I seriously doubt – not to declare that this is the rule and that consensus can't change (or at least can't change without a huge fight). WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:57, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
This strikes me as a kind of WP:BURO response – because this RfC didn't get posted to exactly the "right place", and in exactly the "right way", it doesn't count for anything?... It was held in what could be argued is the right place – MOS:LEAD. It was even advertised at WT:STATIONS. So the idea that it carries no "weight" there strikes me as an odd claim... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:05, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
I don't think I've explained myself clearly. It is indeed a WP:NOTBURO response: IMO there is no need to jump through bureaucratic hoops like "have an uninvolved editor write a formal closing statement" or "codify the result in a guideline". Use the results of the discussion, but don't be all bureaucratic about it.
My point about STATIONS is only that some volunteers (e.g., non-members who were involved in the discussion) can't force other volunteers (e.g., members of that WikiProject) to promote this view as if it were their own advice. That group can volunteer to include it, but we can't force them to do so. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:05, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

@Alsee, merge discussions aren't RfCs—they need not go longer than a week if the consensus is clear... czar 02:41, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
The merge closure page only indicates "one week or more" for cases with no dissent.

  • Comment: This RfC should not be closed in isolation - there is also an associated merge discussion ongoing, and the two are closely related. (For example, a couple of votes in the merge discussion are apparently based on reasons presented in the previous RfC.) In my opinion, the new RfC simply adds to the considerable unnecessary verbiage on the page. StAnselm (talk) 21:22, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

not done as further edits seem to have overtaken the last participation in the RfC so as to make formal assessment unnecessary unless a participant requires. Ncmvocalist (talk) 08:51, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
I disagree with not closing the RfC. I think it is helpful to answer these two questions:

1. Should we include the mention that Seralini's papers have been published in the peer-reviewed literature?

2. Should we include the studies which are discussed - or within the actual scope, of this article?

The discussion seems contentious which is why I'm not closing it myself. Cunard (talk) 19:29, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
Agree, its a hotly contested article in the GMO area that was part of a recent Arbcom case, and should be closed. I cant close it because of my involvement in that case, but even if I could I wouldnt as a NAC. AlbinoFerret 23:10, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
I think that Ncmvocalist is correct. Nobody seems to be edit-warring over those two questions, a lot has changed since then (more than 200 edits and work by User:SlimVirgin and User:Tryptofish, both of whom are skilled with this sort of problem), a practical compromise seems to be in place, and the person who started the RFC retired weeks ago and requested that his account be blocked. The likely outcome is only to enshrine, as The Eternal Consensus™, the results of a single discussion about whether the words "peer-review" should appear in the article (current, stable state: yes, but maybe not as many times as some anti-GMO POV pushers would like) and whether the articles should be used as primary sources (current, stable state: the re-published one is cited as a source to say that it was re-published, and both versions are prominently linked as ==External links==, which is probably more than some pro-GMO POV pushers would like). It would probably be better to leave this alone, and let editors use their best judgment over time. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:07, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Removed notdone template to prevent archival by the bot. Tenebrae (talk · contribs) wrote:

Here is what the admin said: "If you've agreed on a consensus, there's no need for formal closure. ~ RobTalk 13:09, 17 April 2016 (UTC). Now, according to WP:RfC, "The RfC participants can agree to end it at any time," whether a resolution was reached or not, and that "it can be formally closed by any uninvolved editor", whether admin or not (though since closings can be challenged, I've often found in practical terms it's better for an admin to do it).

It goes on to say that we can choose to enclose the RfC discussion in a box "with or without a closing statement." Since our consensus affects a Project-wide template; since it might also affect Project:Television; and since we might like to be able to point to a single, proper, clearly labeled discussion in case there are challenges, I believe we should take the option of enclosing the discussion, using the following template that the WP:RfC makes available: [template]

I would suggest that if there are no objections in the next, say, two days, that I and another of us ask an uninvolved editor to enclose this RfC discussion. I hope this sounds OK.

It is clear that closure by an uninvolved editor is helpful even if there's an agreed on consensus ("since we might like to be able to point to a single, proper, clearly labeled discussion in case there are challenges"). I am therefore removing the notdone template so that the discussion will be closed by an uninvolved editor. Cunard (talk) 05:57, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
@Cunard: I'll close this in a moment just to clear it out of the queue, but please see WP:RFC, which says "If the matter under discussion is not contentious and the consensus is obvious to the participants, then formal closure is neither necessary nor advisable.

(Non-administrator comment) I would close it as rough consensus for "England, UK", as a temporary measure pending the outcome of a more general discussion (either on British bios or on every kind of similar discussion for not-really-sovereign states), because arguments presented either for "England" or "United Kingdom" were very weak (the strongest being "it is what we used to do", which is not really compelling in an RfC that precisely questions what used to be done - especially since it was argued by both sides (!)). I also would encourage a separate discussion as to whether the current position matters for the "place of birth" (IMO it should not, the country of birth of Nicola Sturgeon should remain the same if she becomes UK PM of even PM of the Netherlands, but it seems others think it matters).
However, I think wiser to leave this highly contentious close to an admin, even though the consensus seems relatively clear to me. TigraanClick here to contact me 10:12, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.#Requested move 6 April 2016

  • Talk:Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.#Requested move 6 April 2016, where an editor has specifically requested an admin of long standing and good experience in interpreting RMs. This RM is 4 weeks old, and has been at the tail of the backlog for several days already. Dicklyon (talk) 15:12, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
    But since there don't seem to be any admins closing RM discussions, an experienced non-admin would be OK, I think. I don't see why this one is getting ignored for so long; the issue is spelled out pretty clearly, and someone just has to make a decision, so we can move on. Dicklyon (talk) 04:12, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

TIME SENSITIVE. PROMPT CLOSURE REQUESTED. A prompt closure here may reduce drama at a Deletion Review in progress, and it may avoid substantial waste of time on repeat process.
The RFC currently says it is relisted to obtain clearer consensus, but the "relisting" was added by a user who was previously blocked for abusively obstructing consensus regarding this subject. The "relisting" should not discourage closure if a closer finds that 42 days of discussion presents a sufficiently clear consensus.
There is no dispute that Earth Similarity Index (ESI) has sufficient sources to support its own article, but ESI has negligible scientific acceptance, and different sources use very different formulas to compute conflicting ESI values. The discussion is about various other disputed articles that were constructed and defined entirely around a single source's implementation ESI. Is it encyclopedic to build those other articles around ESI? Alsee (talk) 02:45, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
You also forgot that the the "abusive" user also opened the RfC, not just relisted it. It was relisted because it was clear (to me and others) that at the time there was no clear consensus although that may be different now. Are those personal attacks really necessary in this post? You should also not be doing POV pushing here to get the closing admin to agree with you, states your arguments in the RfC please (which you already have). Davidbuddy9 Talk  20:56, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Requesting closure on this RfC which was initiated on 11 March and hasn't seen any participation lately. I feel like I should mention something about the "validity" of the RfC since discussion sprawled a bit... So without getting into the meat of the RfC.... A couple users raised concerns about the venue -- a discussion which extended to user talk pages and VPP (this thread). Others weighing in on that matter seemed satisfied with the fact that it was (and still is) listed on centralized discussion and was advertised on VPP twice and the objecting editors were invited to move the discussion to VPP (though that didn't happen). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:48, 24 April 2016 (UTC) Note: This comment was placed on a duplicate RFC listing.

Talk:Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016

There are a number of recent discussions at Talk:Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016 (including maybe these two discussions as well?) that need to be closed, and, given the nature of some of the discussions and the fact that the page in question is under discretionary sanctions, I think it would be best if an administrator (that has ideally not participated in any recent discussions on that talk page) close those discussions. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide. Guy1890 (talk) 03:35, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

This discussion on the same talk page is in desperate need of resolution. One editor seems to have made it his mission to include potentially contentious information, and has in fact made it clear he will be adding the information without formal consensus. S51438 (talk) 04:16, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
I have closed one of the discussions mentioned by Guy1890 because it was repetitive. S51438 (talk) 04:47, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure this is an appropriate request. I'm the editor they're referring to. This is the contentious information they felt was too unreliable for Wikipedia (it needs work and expansion, obviously): Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016, fraud and irregularity allegations. The issue now concerns how if at all to link from the primaries article to that. If they feel that arbitral remediation is necessary to close a thread that will be reopened to that limited purpose, I support that. If they want to leave the same thread open and continue it solely in that purpose [of whether and how to link] I'm fine with that too. We had all agreed consensus was against inclusion before they asked for arbitration (so I find this confusing), but the question has also now changed with the creation of a separate article. Michael Sheflin (talk) 17:08, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

"We had all agreed consensus was against inclusion before they asked for arbitration" is nonsense, but anyone reviewing the history of the page above can see that plainly. Guy1890 (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
You can tell I'm gaming the system because I transparently provided all relevant information. "You cannot merely exclude information of public interest, validly cited. That's the concern. If your question is what does this debate have to do with the page... there does appear to be consensus, at present, against including information on this page. There's no reason given for that so it's not clear to me where you find consensus based on legitimate concerns. But that's fine." https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ADemocratic_Party_presidential_primaries%2C_2016&type=revision&diff=722964246&oldid=722962140 Michael Sheflin (talk) 03:33, 3 June 2016 (UTC) *I most sincerely apologize. That was from nearly an hour and a half afterward [when making the statement you found to be nonsense, I was under the impression I had posted that before you requested this; I apologize]. "Look I'll acknowledge you've all won. You've abused and misused the consensus-building process in bad faith to exclude, on hypothetical possibilities, the possibility of valid information." [03:26, 28 May 2016] (this was my acknowledgment that consensus ran against inclusion; but I - and I stand by this - think that misunderstands how Wikipedia works); "Perhaps this consensus attempt has determined that [for now] no section should be added to accommodate the allegations - or perhaps that is not what it has determined. However, that cannot then be used to simply exclude otherwise valid information from Wikipedia." [07:10, 30 May 2016 (UTC)]. Regardless of how closely you scrutinized what I said (bc I'll acknowledge my point may not have come across), I think this is kind of a waste of time. Michael Sheflin (talk) 03:39, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at the RfC at Talk:World Wide Web#Robert Cailliau ? (Initiated 2901 days ago on 18 May 2016)? The question posed was:

Should Robert Cailliau be listed in the lead as equal co-inventor of the web, alongside Tim Berners-Lee? There is edit-warring going on at present to push this into the article. [2] [3] (and others).

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters/Archive 21#The word "like"

This needs an accurate analysis before a closing rationale. George Ho (talk) 07:55, 14 March 2016 (UTC) (Initiated 2999 days ago on 10 February 2016)

This is now located in an archive at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters/Archive 21. Someone willing to dig into one of the lamest contentious discussions of all time should assess whether it's worth dragging out of an archive or not. ~ RobTalk 13:39, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Since numerous editors considered the discussion worth discussion, and since George Ho wants an accurate summary of the discussion, I agree with George Ho's request for closure. That some editors consider it "lame" does not detract from other editors' considering it important and worthy of closure (evidenced by the extensive, passionate discussion).

Because the discussion has been archived, there are two methods to implement the close: (i) Move the discussion back to the talk page and close it and (ii) Close the discussion, keeping it in the talk page archive, and announce the result on the talk page. Cunard (talk) 06:01, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

How about method 2? Or another method: click "edit" button at the Archive page and write the rationale. --George Ho (talk) 07:56, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
This doesn't need a close, being effectively moot. RM has continued to follow MOS on this, and despite a few voices in support of sweeping change to treatment of short prepositions on Wikipedia (even having a magically special variant rule for songs), nothing like a consensus arose for this, the matter was sourced into the ground (both as to what different genres of sources do, and why WP uses the rule it does, in keeping with the centrist, non-extreme treatment in RS), and whatever stress and productivity drain was involved in the discussion, the qualify of the relevant RM discussions has improved, with actual examination of whether something's a preposition or not, instead of rants along the lines of "since Rolling Stone writes it this way, WP must also". There really is nothing to do. Not every discussion needs a formal closure, and a conclusion of "there isn't a clear consensus to change anything" certainly doesn't need one.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  17:24, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

It appears to me that the later section is part of the original RfC. See [4]. 79.64.199.8 (talk) 18:57, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Is closure still required on this, or can I delist it? It has now been listed so long that it has been allowed to be archived. I will delist if no objections arise. Dionysodorus (talk) 03:01, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
