(Initiated 1392 days ago on 4 July 2020) Pretty polarised response on this one. Can I request an experienced closer close the discussion? Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:20, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

{{Not done}}, there don't appear to be any content decisions hinging on the outcome of this discussion. As MEMRI primarily produces primary source documents, citations to it will primarily be contextualized by other sources; cases where we would actually be directly relying on MEMRI's reliability are going to be extremely rare. Thus, I don't see the value of trying to tease out a consensus from a clearly polarized discussion. I had already posted a surface-level assessment of the discussion at WP:New page patrol source guide#Israel/Palestine which I think is sufficient. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:20, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Collapsed side discussion. starship .paint (talk) 01:56, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Bumping this as a high-priority, time-sensitive task. "Take 69" is unfortunately only mildly hyperbolic, and a formal close is badly needed to put a cap on the spiraling discussion. Here is my assessment of the situation that I posted at the page, which is a little blunt but hopefully neutral enough to be appropriate for here:

Yikes, this discussion is still going on? We are utterly past past the point of further debate being useful, and it's also pretty clear that (intentionally or not, and to AGF I think it's largely unintentional) there is a status quo stonewalling dynamic where those opposed to mentioning the pandemic in the lead are using the lack of very clear consensus around what specific text to add as a rationale for blocking the addition of anything at all. That deadlock is not going to get broken by another summary of a summary of the ten previous summaries, but only by a formal administrative close. Hopefully, the closer will be able to use the massive amount of prior discussion on this topic to assess a consensus for a specific wording that we can add to the article and the current consensus list. But even if not, they would at least be able to offer up a concise framing of the available options in a way that would allow for a truly conclusive RfC (probably advertised at WP:CENT), rather than one that constantly gets derailed every time someone wants to modify one of the proposals or reset the discussion and starts a new subsection reframing the options as a way to do that.

{{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 20:35, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

I second the urgency to close this discussion with an appropriate summary. Also to close the associated RfC, which sought to obtain a consensus on the specific statement derived from the previous discussions. There are no real objections to the consensus statement, though, of course, the closer can determine a result independently. The process of deriving a simple statement for the article lead describing Donald Trump and the Covid-19 pandemic began in April. Here 4-5 months later the lead still has no statement on this critically important issue of the day. The issue festers; we need to resolve it and move on; something is broken. Bdushaw (talk) 13:03, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
A recent development -- I don't know how this affects the close -- is that @Markbassett:, one of the most persistent opponents of the Covid content, has been topic banned from American Politics. Pinging him as a courtesy even though he is unable to comment further. SPECIFICO talk 14:20, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
There is WP:NO DEADLINE. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 11:58, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Emir of Wikipedia, I could not disagree more adamantly with the application of that essay to this circumstance. A fairly clear majority of editors feel that there should be something in the lead, and a prolonged absence from the lead of an extremely high-profile article is very much a WP:DEADLINEISNOW situation, not a no deadline situation. Additionally, the amount of wasted editor effort through the continuing spiraling discussion after all the major arguments have already been debated at length is reason itself for this to be considered a time-sensitive matter. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 00:52, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

That's not an WP:RfC, nor apparently was it ever one, so it lacks any sort of officialness or need for any sort of official close (and it shouldn't be listed at ANRFC, nor should it be DNAUed). There is however an RfC on the subject on that talkpage, which was opened August 5, so that has a few more weeks to run: Talk:Donald Trump#RfC: A statement on Trump and Covid-19 in the lead. -- Softlavender (talk) 07:54, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

(Initiated 1355 days ago on 10 August 2020) The RfC was to make a minor edit to a paragraph and add a clarifying second paragraph. There's a clear consensus for the minor change to the first paragraph, and a reasonably clear consensus to add some version of the proposed second paragraph, but I'm not sure if there is a consensus on which of the proposed phrasings of the second paragraph to use, and so I would like an uninvolved editor to make some decision on that point and close the RfC.

This RfC sprung from a WP:RSN discussion created on 9 August 2020. Please see Perennial sources#Quillette where source is currently tagged as "Generally unreliable". Thank you. Pyxis Solitary (yak).

Collapsed side discussion Crossroads ^-talk- 03:44, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Just want to point out that on my count the majority of editors still consider it generally unreliable

depreciate=12
unreliable=23
considerations apply=15
Reliable=1

with some of those being split or mixed votes and the repeat publishing of falsehoods and pseudoscience being demonstrated. the subjects use as WP:RSOPINION is contested in the discussion. If the closer reads the debate they will see it was pointed out by other editors that they are not reliable and have published hoax opinion without identifying the author in the past, I think their reliability for opinion has been contested and this should be taken into consideration. Bacondrum (talk) 21:00, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

It would be wiser if you refrained from trying to taint the closure with your opinion. You have a lot to say, this is obvious, but the closer will have the intelligence to see the totality and substance of comments. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 11:12, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

What happened here? The RFC got archived while it was still undecided and now nobody can participate in it or close it because it is on a static archive page? That shouldn't happen, right? If so, where do we go with this? Unarchive it? (If so, is there time for me to sneak a final !vote for option 4 in before it gets closed? ;-) ) Or just close it? --DanielRigal (talk) 15:08, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Archiving bots cannot tell if a discussion is still undecided. They operate purely on the age of the most recent post to the thread concerned; at WP:RSN, threads are eligible for archiving after five days of inactivity. You could cut (not copy) the thread concerned from the archive and paste it back into the main talk page, but make sure that you make a comment in the thread before lowercase sigmabot III visits again, otherwise it'll simply be re-archived. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:22, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Reply - @Barkeep49:, per WP:RELIST,
"relisting should not be a substitute for a "no consensus" closure"
"Relisting debates repeatedly in the hope of getting sufficient participation is not recommended, and while having a deletion notice on a page is not harmful, its presence over several weeks can become disheartening for its editors"
"in general, debates should not be relisted more than twice", and
"Users relisting a debate for a third (or further) time, or relisting a debate with a substantial number of commenters, should write a short explanation either within the {{relist}} template, or in addition to it, on why they did not consider the debate sufficient"

This discussion has going on for over one month with many editors, and no justification has been provided for a third relist. --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:34, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Jax 0677, those are the guidelines about relisting, yes. And still my comment stands. If you have an issue with the third relist I suggest you take it up with Spartaz. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:39, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Higher education#Request for Comment about using the word "public" to describe universities in the CSHE

(Initiated 1354 days ago on 12 August 2020) This was an extended RfC discussion where neither of the two most obvious choices gained a clear consensus. There was fairly promising discussion of a compromise option as the RfC progressed, but discussion died down and has been inactive for nearly two months now. Since the initial discussion was so contentious, and since there was already a related RfC closed with no consensus several months ago, it seems like it would be for the best if an uninvolved editor closed this one.

(Initiated 1334 days ago on 31 August 2020) Closure is requested of this discussion. (It was an RfC.) Crossroads ^-talk- 16:25, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

For clarification, the RfC tag was only up for a week so can hardly be called that. The original discussion was malformed and happened on both talk pages without being listed elsewhere for broader participation. czar 17:11, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

That other discussion is mentioned and linked at this discussion, so that it is considered. There are plenty of comments at these discussions, many of them from during that RfC time, so there was wide participation, and I believe that the consensus is clear. I see no reason not to list this here and get it closed after how long altogether it has been. Crossroads ^-talk- 20:46, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

RfCs typically are listed for longer, hence my clarification on that point alone. czar 05:16, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

- As with other RfCs that are basically a !voting exercise tacked onto the end of longer discussions, this one will probably need to be examined in the context of the threads that led up to it (I think the main one is also at NPOVN). From what I recall of this one, the policy arguments are very clear, versus some royalty wikiproject grousing that probably amounts to WP:ILIKEIT and WP:CONLEVEL issues, though I might have missed something. I haven't looked at it in months (but participated heavily at the time, so I'm involved). The overall gist is whether it is OR to extrapolate from what nobility title someone would have had if the title had not been abolished, and calling that person by that title in articles on WP (when the person doesn't make any such claim, and RS don't do it either). The answer seems pretty clear, though there's a lot of verbiage to wade through. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 11:33, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Why? RfCs normally run for thirty days. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Redrose64, I think the consensus is clear in that RfC about including the statement, and there is no issue in closing RfCs early, unless they're a bit more controversial that it takes time to reach any final point? I guess, I have not misread, The default length of a formal request for comment is 30 days (opened on or before 15 September 2020); if consensus becomes clear before that and discussion has slowed, then it may be closed early. However, editors usually wait at least a week after a discussion opens, unless the outcome is very obvious, so that there is enough time for a full discussion. Anyways, it is fine if you want it to be open for a month or more. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 19:57, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Hmmm. I remember recieving strong rebuke for posting "invalid RfC" and "malformed RfC" in hours after posting the RfC. But, after dozens of editors including many long standing admins taking part in it... no one is interested to close it, not even as no consensus. It's been more than three weeks. Interesting.

{{Not done}} Marking this "Done" in the initiated template simply to remove it from this list. As pointed out immediately above, this is not a close request but a request for a third opinion, which is inappropriate for this page. The discussion referenced has no definite proposal or point upon which a consensus could be determined but is a regular talk page discussion. Per WP:CLOSE, this type of discussion does not need a closing statement and the only likely close would be "no consensus," which hardly helps.

Talk:List of My Hero Academia characters#RFC on whether basic character descriptions are allowed and if they require secondary sources

(Initiated 1339 days ago on 26 August 2020) The RFC header was removed by Legobot as expired a few days ago, but could an uninvolved experienced editor review it to state whether there was a consensus? Everybody who voted at the RFC voted to include the content, but only 4 users officially voted. However there were significant edits from 3 other users related to the RFC before it started and after it ended. Serial Number 54129 has persistently edited the content out but has been inactive since a little bit after the RFC started, Drmies has edited the content out at one point but has not done so since despite being well aware that the content was restored ever since multiple secondary sources were added to the article per his advice on my talk page and has privately thanked me for doing so, and Exukvera has edited the content back in at least twice but has not contributed to any discussion despite being pinged. Thanks to whoever reviews this. Unnamed anon (talk) 03:14, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

@Unnamed anon: this is one of the way that RfCs end. In this case I'm not sure you need a formal close so much as When an RfC is used to resolve a dispute, the resolution is determined the same way as for any other discussion: the participants in the discussion determine what they have agreed on and try to implement their agreement. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:23, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

@Barkeep49:, so, because all participants in the RFC have agreed, and one opposing user from the dispute has kept the article the way it was when the content was restored, does that mean the RFC succeeded? A formal close on the article talk page would still help, as I am worried about the other opposing user reverting again upon their return, as they have reverted despite an existing consensus in the past. I see you are an administrator with 15 years' experience; am I allowed to ask you to give this RFC a formal close? Thank you in advance. Unnamed anon (talk)|

@Unnamed anon:, not only administrators can close RfCs. I think I closed more RfCs before I was an administrator than since. I suggest you add a comment saying what it is you plan to do. Leave it a week or so. If no one objects implement it. If another editor comes back later and raises a fuss you can point to that discussion and this as why you did it. It is an alternative to waiting here. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:49, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: What I plan to implement was already present by the time the RFC started, has been like that since, and still is; the reason it started was because it was being persistently reverted every month, and what I hope to gain from somebody closing the RFC is for confirmation if it can stay that way as evidence in case the other editor thinks about editing it out again or as evidence against me to revert it back to their version. The other editor has reverted against a consensus in January on this page before, but said January consensus only involved two other users besides me, and had no RFC template. This is why I started an RFC, despite the content I had proposed already being present by the time it started; to gain confirmation on whether or not it should be kept as is. Unnamed anon (talk) 03:33, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Unnamed anon, I understand. I am more suggesting "I plan in a week to implement the consensus above" can be helpful in reducing conflict later one. Either no one objects and you can point to this in the future or someone does object and you know where things stand (perhaps indeed needing to wait for a formal close). Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:05, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: Is this what you want me to comment at the top? Sorry, I'm a bit confused about what you're saying, as the content was already there by the time the RFC started, and the reason for it was to keep it that way due to persistent reversions that only stopped due to the other editor going inactive. Unless I'm mistaken, you seem to say there is no need for a formal close because multiple editors have agreed to its implementation, but that's kind of the reason I'm asking for a formal close; to make it extremely obvious to the opposing party if there is a consensus, so as to prevent another series of monthly disruption. I do not want to experience monthly disruption on this page again, regardless of what the outcome of the RFC is, and a formal close with any outcome, even those that I do not hope for, will let me know what happens next. If there is a consensus, then we know that whoever is against the consensus will be forced to discuss their edits instead of persistently reverting, and if there is no consensus, then I know to start another RFC to get more input if only if the disruption happens again. I am aware that Many discussions result in a reasonably clear consensus, so if the consensus is clear, any editor—even one involved in the discussion—may close the discussion., and that the discussion has had all of its votes in favor of keeping the content, as well as one opposing user not reverting since the restoration of the content and privately thanking me for trying to reach a compromise, but due to the the other opposing and currently inactive user's seeming assumptions that I operate under bad faith, I feel like the closure will only be valid if an uninvolved editor reviews it, no matter how clear you or I believe the outcome is.

{{Not done}}, no closure needed, the primary dissent from the status quo was an editor who has since been indef blocked for their efforts. A compromise proposal made by an uninvolved editor did not gain any traction.

Talk:Bangladesh Liberation War#Statusquo

(Initiated 1296 days ago on 8 October 2020) This evidently ended in a consensus. But the dispute has been going for years, espcially pitched in the last three months. This discussion came at the heel of two other back to back discussions (the first one started 1 August) and at least two dozen reverts by almost dozen editors, all part of the same dispute. It will be really helpful if we had a formal closure with a clear indication of the outcome. That would help to keep peace in future disputes, which, looking at the article and talk histoy, potentially can start/re-start any day. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 01:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

{{not done}} RfC has been open for three days with 17 !votes, of which 10 are no, 4 are yes, and 3 are "yes but not as written." Of course we don't decide RfCs based on !votes, but on argument. However, a cursory headcount is reasonable to determine if the extraordinary standards of a SNOW close are likely to be met. And they are not. In all probability this will ultimately close as "no", but the likelihood it will end up unanimous, near-unanimous, or could be closed early without any reasonable objections being raised (our SNOW tests), is virtually impossible.

Wikipedia talk:Verifiability#ONUS: How to quickly fix it all

(Initiated 1285 days ago on 19 October 2020)

I have to say it this way to properly explain: I am listing this here because of what is going on in the last subsection of this section. There was an RfC at the Village Pump about this matter which rejected the proposal developed over the preceding subsections. In the last subsection (which was never itself an RfC despite the heading; it merely linked to the RfC) there seems to be an attempt by the main proponent to re-litigate/question the RfC contrary to WP:LOCALCONSENSUS and WP:IDHT. Crossroads ^-talk- 05:18, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

{{Not done}}, I don't think there's any danger of LOCALCONSENSUS decisions being used to supersede the broader discussion. If the main proponent picks up the stick again in the event that their (unrelated, I believe) unblock request is accepted, I'll consider asking them to disengage. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:12, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

This seems to mostly be a discussion between 2 people. Not much a closer can do here, suggest WP:DR. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 16:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

{{Not done}}, discussion is ongoing, and as ProcrastinatingReader notes this is more of a case for dispute resolution between a small number of editors rather than a discussion that needs evaluation for closing. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:06, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

{{nd}} nothing for a closer to do here. Please stop listing so many discussions which have minimal participation and/or obviously nothing for a closer to do. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 20:21, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Reply - I disagree. I tried to split Orbs (band) from Ashley Ellyllon, however, Orbs was once again redirected to Ashley Ellyllon. The album information was not added to Orbs until after the AFD was closed. The DRV stated that "there's not really a clear consensus here about the possibility of creating a new article if additional sources are found". I believe that an independent closure can determine whether the version of Orbs that I created today should be put to a second AFD. Additionally, per WP:G4, Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion "excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version". --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:40, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

There is nothing to independently close there. There’s a super vote to be done, but no closing. No editor is even explicitly in support of your proposal. Haven’t really reviewed the discussions but generally I’d suggest DRV at a later date or possibly AfC, or recreate the article if you have substantially better sources. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 23:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Actually, just skipped to desktop mode to read the DRV. It gives good instruction: the general principles that articles that have the same problems discussed in the AfD will get deleted/reverted, and those that overcome them won't be subject to the outcome of the AfD, should be expected to apply ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 23:30, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Having been archived without being closed, it would seem that further discussion is forestalled, and we are stuck with an absence of clear consensus on the issue at bar. The best I can gather from this is that there is general agreement that most propositions that could be sourced to scripture can also be sourced to a WP:RS-worthy examination of scripture, and that it is perhaps better practice to look for such a secondary source.

And note that it's a two-part RfC; there's a second set of question-and-answers material below the original. However, I don't think it will be a difficult close at all, because most of the available options resolve to variants of the same thing (editorial discretion to include both names as contextually appropriate, in a form that seems to make sense there). It's important to keep in mind also that this is a follow-up RfC to other recent ones (including at the same page, e.g. here), and an earlier one that was probably the longest RfC in WP:VPPOL's history (here, followup here), so it should be interpreted in light of previous discussion, not just who happened to show up over the last month. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 08:05, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Comment: First of all the article was turned into a redirect with no discussion, so the default position or most recent stable version would be the article itself rather than the redirect. Secondly Matthew hk struck out many remarks without submitting any evidence that there was off-site canvassing, nor was the SPIs he submitted conclusive ones.

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Requesting RfC be re-closed

(Initiated 1239 days ago on 4 December 2020) This would better be closed by an admin familiar with IRANPOL. The discussion has received feedback from multiple experienced admins/editors. Specially, there's a determining suggestion of 'source restriction' which needs to be considered as a part of the discussion. Regards. --Mhhossein ^talk 03:36, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

This is about a RfC, which received consensus in November 29, but Mhhossein keeps re-opening the conversation at AN even though it has been closed several times for lack of participation (and adding a code to it so that it won't be closed until 2030!)

About source restriction, an editor suggested this was something that goes beyond this RFC:

"I had in mind a source restriction for the entire article at least, if not the entire topic area (WP:GS/IRANPOL), because I think that will help future content disputes as well as the present one (as Alex-h points out, a source restriction would affect much more content in the article than just what's at issue in this RFC; it could significantly change what we say about the topic in wikivoice)."

Another editor opened a discussion on this at the article's talk page, with very little comments from everyone (including Mhhossein). Mhhossein does not seem to want to accept the consensus of this RfC even though almost all the participants in the RFC agreed the best thing to do was to significantly reduce the text of a section in the article. Also most editors and admins at AN endorsed the close. Idealigic (talk) 10:23, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

@Idealigic: Why are you bludgeoning the process again? Why are you saying these things here? --Mhhossein ^talk 12:45, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

@Mhhossein: I am not bludgeoning, I'm explaining that your comment about 'source restriction' was a suggestion by an editor who said this could be implemented by an admin to the entire People's Mujahedin of Iran article or IRANPOL areas, and not to one single sentence in a RFC (which would be a very biased way of editing the article, something also others said at AN). You forgot to explain that part. Idealigic (talk) 10:14, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

It's pure bludgeoning (probably you'll need to be taken to ANI for continued behavior of bludgeoning). By the way, Levivich showed how the YOU were failing to realize what 'source restriction' is. --Mhhossein ^talk 12:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Template talk:R to project namespace#RfC: Should we categorize redirects to the same namespace?

(Initiated 1219 days ago on 24 December 2020) (larger thread ongoing since 1 December 2020, reopened after December 2019 – February 2020 discussion, itself continuation from February–May 2016. This RfC (which was broadly advertised to pretty much every potentially relevant talk page) was closed recently as WP:SNOW. The sole contrarian voice has insisted on reopening it, but does not seem to be presenting a new argument, just displeasure, so I think the close should be restored. (Indeed, that person's argument is basically to just refer to previous discussions where they made the same arguments before.) — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:52, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Well, SMcCandlish, I've just looked at that to see if I could help, and I'm finding it quite tricky. I agree with you that, if you see the discussion as a choice between two options, then that choice is simple almost to the point of being trivial. But whenever I look at an RfC that asks for a binary choice, my first question is: "Are these choices mutually exclusive"? Because if they aren't and there's support for both sides, then the first thing to consider should be "do both".
In this case, the framing of the RfC makes the choices mutually exclusive, but I haven't been able to follow why they need to be. Clearly, there could exist two kinds of template: one for cross-namespace redirects and the other for same-namespace redirects. I haven't been able to see the reason why that's excluded. Considering that this affects templates on a truckload of pages, I've decided it's better for me not to touch it. Maybe someone else will find it closable?—S Marshall T/C 10:43, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Comment from Celestina007 — Perhaps asides template editing & new page reviewing, file moving has to be the most complex and interesting fields one can operate in, infact as I told Godsy today I fell in love with working with files because of its complexity as it isn’t so much about moving the files, but understanding in general, file policies such as WP:IUP & WP:FURG and list of other polices or guidelines before proceeding to initiate a “rename media”, it’s very interesting & I can’t say that enough. The major problem Alexis raised was that I needed to do more reviewing and their currently was no backlog at the time I made the request so there wasn’t any real need to have the perm(which indeed was a plausible reason) but of recent I’ve seen a backlog growing, thus I believe it’s my onus, “if I claim to love working with files” to step in now & start working if given the perm without which I can’t reduce the backlog.

Upon closer examination, this discussion appears to be fairly close. At least one editor in the discussion explicitly asked for an uninvolved admin to close it, so I will step back for now since I am not an admin. I may re-examine it in ~2-3 weeks or so and provide a formal close if nobody else handles this by then. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 22:55, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

@Mikehawk10: Please just close it. Any uninvolved editor can do it. (if anybody disagrees with your closure, they can always ask an admin to review it). I think it's very clear that there's no consensus to include the sidebar. - Daveout(talk) 23:40, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Frédéric Chopin#RFC: Chopin and Sexuality

(Initiated 1218 days ago on 25 December 2020) – Related discussions, most of them leading up to the RfC, mainly at Talk:Frédéric Chopin#Swiss-Radio-and-TV "outing" of Chopin (and some subsequent sections on that talk page); and at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Archive 200#Frédéric Chopin. Uninvolved closure seems necessary. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:30, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I suggest that User:Smerus initiates these actions, because the new article Sexuality of Chopin seriously compromises this particular RfC. Smerus has made the most edits to Frédéric Chopin and was responsible for bringing the article to WP:FA status. So far there seems to be consensus amongst User:Smerus, User:Nihil novi, User:Toccata quarta, User:Kosboot, User:JackofOz, User:SPECIFICO, User:Darwinek, user:Piotrus, user:Aza24 and me. I suggest an experienced administrator. Mathsci (talk) 11:32, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I am not sure that I should initiate anything in this matter, given the apparent hostility towards me of some of the editors contributing to the discussion. Isn't this a matter for the consideration of @Robert McClenon: who is i/c the RfC? I agree that the involvement of a senior administrator would be helpful.--Smerus (talk) 13:19, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

@Francis Schonken, Mathsci, and Smerus: - Well, first, I am hardly in charge of the RFC, as if anyone was in charge of it. I was merely trying to find a way to spread the unhappiness evenly. My own opinion is:

- - The discussion of this topic should be moved to the main section of WP:AN.
  - The creation of the sub-article Sexuality of Chopin was an end run around the RFC, and I would rather see an end run in American football than in Wikipedia.
  - However, now that the sub-article has been created, either the sub-article should be deleted or merged into the main article, or any issues should be addressed in the sub-article.
  - The RFC is moot if the sub-article is kept.
  - If the sub-article is merged or deleted, an administrator should close the RFC.

Robert McClenon (talk) 16:00, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Re. suggestion to move to AN: disagree – the RfC can be closed without splitting the same discussion over multiple pages.
Re. end run: the existence or non-existence of a sub-article is unrelated to the RfC.
Re. "either the sub-article should be deleted or merged into the main article, or any issues should be addressed in the sub-article" – no, the RfC decides on what goes in the main article, irrespective of the existence of a sub-article.
Re. RfC becoming moot after creation of sub-article: no, that suggestion makes no sense.
Re. conditions on close of the RfC: no, again, the suggestion of such conditions makes no sense.

--Francis Schonken (talk) 16:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Re: end run, yes, the POV fork is an end run around the RfC. The RfC was always intended to be about how the matter is covered in Wikipedia; claiming it only applies to material under a specific title is WP:WIKILAWYERing. IMO an admin should G6 delete the fork or protect it as a redirect as a violation of dispute resolution procedures. Crossroads ^-talk- 06:28, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I support the opinion of Crossroads in this matter.--Smerus (talk) 09:47, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

The irritating thing about modifying RfCs after creation is that it makes it difficult to see how much support there is for a certain option, because most don't revisit a discussion. A "remove entirely" option should've been part of the original RfC. At least one editor who voted for an option to retain the content originally changed their vote to the option F afterwards. After F was added, there was a notable % of support for that option. It's thus harder to determine, purely from the survey, a consensus on whether the content should be in the article imo. Possibly a more dedicated closer will be willing to read through all the threaded discussion and parse intentions. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 19:06, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
Comment - I have tagged the redirect as a Redirect for Discussion and am recommending that it be fully protected. However, if the community thinks, in the RFD discussion, that the sub-article should exist, that is a valid result of the RFD also. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:58, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I have adopted the suggestion of Robert McClenon and raised the closure of the RfC at Administrators' notice board.--Smerus (talk) 18:33, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

In appealing yet again for someone to close this RfC, can I mention that this has now been waiting so long that part of the related discussions has now been automatically archived to Talk:Frédéric_Chopin/Archive_19.--Smerus (talk) 18:23, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
