    The Requests for closure noticeboard is for posting requests to have an uninvolved editor assess, summarize, and formally close a discussion on Misplaced Pages. Most discussions do not need formal closure.

    The RfC Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for comment/Archive 12#Review discussed how to appeal RfC closures and whether an administrator should summarily overturn a non-administrator's RfC closure.


    Please post new requests at the end of the appropriate section(s).

    Requests for closure

    Article namespace

    Talk:Death of Reeva Steenkamp

    The consensus has already reached. --George Ho (talk) 13:32, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

    Talk:Adamsville (Atlanta)#Proposed move

    This RM about moving Atlanta neighborhoods to comma disambiguation, rather than parenthetical, seems to have narrow support. Discussion has been complicated by a few of the neighborhoods having other issues involved. Either way, the RM has run for over a month, and it's been almost a week since anyone commented there. I think it's time for a close. --BDD (talk) 21:28, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

    Talk:Ahmed_Ziauddin#Merger_proposal

    We would appreciate it if someone could please make a decision about this merger.Crtew (talk) 09:17, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

    Talk:Rape_and_pregnancy_controversies_in_United_States_elections,_2012#RfC_on_other_Comments_Section

    Issues of WP:SYN and WP:OR have been highly controversial in this article. I am requesting closure for that reason, even though I think consensus is rather clear.Casprings (talk) 16:56, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

    Talk:Hindutva#Merger proposal

    The merger proposal has become obsolete, as one of the articles has been deleted after an AfD discussion. Still, someone uninvolved should formally close it, as the issue is a bit politically/ethno/religiously loaded. --RJFF (talk) 18:50, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

    Talk:Ugg boots trademark disputes#RfC: Should this article include other disputes involving Ugg boots?

    Would an experienced admininstrator assess the consensus and close as resolved or abandoned the RfC at Talk:Ugg boots trademark disputes. This may be a difficult closure due to the editor issues involved and advice regarding the behavior of the two main editors, User:Wayne and User:Phoenix and Winslow, would be appreciated.
    This RfC has been somewhat compromised by a supporting editor canvassing a large number of editors and asking them to vote in Support. This editor was warned not to canvass but continued, justifying it as a request to vote per WP:FRS with no knowledge on his part as to how they would vote. This editor has also posted a competing RfC with the question reframed to encourage a "support" vote. Three editors (two supporters and one who voted to abandon) want the RfC abandoned due to the above issues rather than have it closed as resolved. However, despite these problems only two of the canvassed editors voted (both in support) which has not significantly impacted on the survey result which is currently seven votes for oppose, three votes for support and one vote for abandon with no further votes made in the last seven days. Closure will require significant patience on the part of the closing admin as the discussion currently runs to 25 pages. Wayne (talk) 19:30, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

    Misplaced Pages talk:In the news/Recurring items#Proposal: Decommission ITN/R

    Last comment was c. one week ago, and was a question on whether the discussion should be closed. 88.88.165.222 (talk) 12:23, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

    Misplaced Pages talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs#More moderate proposal - limit number of Gibraltar-related DYKs per month

    Could someone please close this discussion — it has been running for a month and is completely deadlocked with no chance of consensus. Prioryman (talk) 21:38, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

    Misplaced Pages:Village pump (proposals)#Misplaced Pages "Merge" like WP:RM or WP:AFD

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Misplaced Pages:Village pump (proposals)#Misplaced Pages "Merge" like WP:RM or WP:AFD (initiated 26 December 2012)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

    Archived to WP:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 98#Misplaced Pages "Merge" like WP:RM or WP:AFD. Flatscan (talk) 04:16, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
    That link has been archived, is it now too late to close it? See also:
    —Wbm1058 (talk) 13:50, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
    • I second this request for a closing.  Are the technical people still working on this?  This is an ongoing point of contention at AfD, because AfD gets discussions for which there is no theoretical case for deletion.  It would help for someone to close this discussion, or at least summarize the opinion and clarify the current technical status of implementation.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:10, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

    Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters#the God of Israel or the god of Israel

    This discussion has been dormant for over a month. Would an uninvolved admin please assess the consensus in the discussion? StAnselm (talk) 20:32, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

    Misplaced Pages:Move review/Log/2013 February#riksdag

    Discussion started more than a month ago with no contributions for over two weeks. I'm involved, but someone should put it out of its misery. Favonian (talk) 20:09, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

    Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Baltic states-related articles#RfC: Is it desirable to consider that the Baltic states have existed continually since 1918?

    Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Baltic states-related articles#RfC: Is it desirable to consider that the Baltic states have existed continually since 1918? (initiated 20 March 2013)? Please see also Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Baltic states-related articles#Closure, where an editor said he asked at Misplaced Pages:Administrator's noticeboard for an uninvolved admin to close the discussion. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 04:38, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

    Without noticing this section, I posted a comment below (at 08:53, 23 March 2013) which I now fold into this section: "Could an uninvolved administrator close this RFC? It's more than a month old. It's also—fair warning—really long." I see that an admin has now review the RFC. Thanks! -sche (talk) 18:36, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

    Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Tea Party movement; looking for community input

    Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for adminship#RfC: Proposal for RfA conduct clarification (amendments to editnotice and addition to Template:RfA)

    This was recently archived to Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for adminship/Archive 222. I've restored it because the discussion wasn't closed. Thanks. -- Trevj (talk) 07:01, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

    Can an uninvolved administrator assess the consensus at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive792#User G-Zay and BLP concerns? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 14:39, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

    Other namespaces

    Misplaced Pages:Templates for discussion/Log/2013 March 16#Template:Rozz Williams

    now open for over three weeks. Frietjes (talk) 15:05, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

    User:Jmh649/Will Beback

    It would be appreciated if an uninvolved editor would close this informal RfC (opened 23 March) regarding whether Will Beback's indefinite ban should be lifted. The arbitration committee imposed the ban in February 2012, and last month rejected Will's appeal against it. The issue may proceed to a formal request to the committee, so it would be helpful to have a summary of the RfC's consensus on the various issues. Many thanks, SlimVirgin 16:05, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

    I read part of the page with a thought toward closing it, but what's the point? The discussion has already moved on to so closing the RFC in the userspace page will not help. Chutznik (talk) 04:06, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
    As I said, there might be a formal approach to the arbcom, so it would help if someone completely uninvolved in past disputes with Will, BASC, or any of the individual arbs, would close and sum up the RfC. SlimVirgin 19:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
