The Requests for closure noticeboard is for posting requests to have an uninvolved editor assess, summarize, and formally close a discussion on Wikipedia. Formal closure by an uninvolved editor or administrator should be requested where consensus remains unclear, where the issue is a contentious one, or where there are wiki-wide implications.

Many discussions do not need formal closure and do not need to be listed here.

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. The default length of a formal request for closure is 30 days (opened on or before 12 May 2025); 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 an RfC opens, unless the outcome is very obvious, so that there is enough time for a full discussion.

If consensus is unclear, then post a neutral request here for assistance.

Please ensure that your request for a close is brief and neutrally worded. Please include a link to the discussion. Do not use this board to continue the discussion in question. Be prepared to wait for someone to review the discussion. If you disagree with a particular closure, do not dispute it here. You can start discussion at the original page or request a Closure review at Administrators' noticeboard with a link to the discussion page and the policy-based reason you believe the closure should be overturned. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Closure review archive for previous closure reviews.

Any uninvolved editor may close most discussions, so long as they are prepared to discuss and justify their closing rationale.

Because requests for closure made here are often those that are the most contentious, closing these discussions can be a significant responsibility. Closers should be familiar with all policies and guidelines that could apply to the given discussion. All closers should be prepared to fully discuss the closure rationale with any editors who have questions about the closure or the underlying policies, and to provide advice about where to discuss any remaining concerns that those editors may have.

A request for comment discussed how to appeal closures and whether an administrator can summarily overturn a non-administrator's closure. The consensus was that closures should not be reverted solely because the closer was not an administrator. However, special considerations apply for articles for deletion and move discussions—see Wikipedia:Deletion process#Non-administrators closing discussions and Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for details.

Once a discussion listed on this page has been closed, please add {{Close}} or {{Done}} and a note to the request here, after which the request will be archived.

I would close these, but I am closing too many of them. However, I can provide procedural help for anyone who is unfamiliar with how to close discussions and would like to help with closing. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 22:10, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:2015 Formula One season/Archive 6#Once more

Would an experienced and uninvolved administrator please close the discussion at Talk:2015 Formula One season#Once more. It never should be the discussion it has become. Thanks, Tvx1 (talk) 17:03, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's like three simultaneous issues, aren't there? First the issue of the source, which seems resolved. Then the issue of the alignment and now it looks like an issue with the alignment with the flag. How would it be closed? How about someone create an actual RFC format and let people comment their views in separate subheadings? And this may sound ridiculous but I say someone should actually elevate this to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Tables#Multi-column_sortable_standard or bring it to a WP:Sports-level discussion. We may as well have an actual agreed-upon formatting fight done in one place and end these bits and pieces. I still can't figure out why it's only the current season that has squabbling. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:24, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would an admin assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive268#Close Review Request after overturn and reclose (Initiated 3829 days ago on 17 December 2014) after there has been sufficient discussion? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 06:13, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty sure that discussion has been sufficient already... Looks like it had to be dearchived twice... Closing it would probably be a good idea now... --Martynas Patasius (talk) 19:49, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It was archived again. I guess there is little need to unarchive it at the moment, given that the discussion itself seems to be over, as it looks like we'll need to wait a little for the close; the closer can obviously unarchive it. --Martynas Patasius (talk) 00:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a reason no one has closed this yet. I'd personally rather shoot myself in the head. Just let it die. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 00:36, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll archive this request in the next couple of days if nobody objects (and if nobody else gets there first). Sunrise (talk) 03:51, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't archive it until it's resolved. Alsee (talk) 06:24, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Electronic_cigarette#Ordering_of_sections_2

Previous RfC was closed as "no consensus". Change was made anyway. A further RfC was started to try to get a better consensus. It has been open for a more than 2 weeks. Wondering if someone could close it? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:46, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is inaccurate, The previous RFC was closed no consensus for a medical order. Afterwards the article was changed to a non medical order by an admin after a discussion with consensus from the editors on hand. AlbinoFerret 14:06, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(Initiated 3826 days ago on 20 December 2014) — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 23:33, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What AlbinoFerret wrote is false. The previous RfC was closed as no consensus to change the order. The change to the order was made when an editor made an edit protected request while ignoring the previous RfC. QuackGuru (talk) 21:41, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What you are saying is false. Per the previous closing "Result: No consensus as to whether the article is primarily medical." in attempting to keep it a prominently medical order. The previous closing also stated "IMO, the way the body of the article launches straight into a discussion of the health effects related the article subject before providing the basic information about what the subject is doesn't look obviously neutral or natural." thats why it was changed. There is a section calling for the stoping of the RFC, that was hidden (collapsed), the closer should read it to fully understand whats going on. AlbinoFerret 23:53, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What AlbinoFerret wrote is misleading. There was no consensus to change the order per the previous RFC. No consensus means the order of the sections cannot be changed. Now AlbinoFerret claims "What it is and made of (components) before getting to health claims, these are the majority of the reliable sources."[1] That is not true. The vast majority of the sources are about the health effects. AlbinoFerret believes the safety of e-cigarettes page is a "medical page". QuackGuru (talk) 19:00, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Im sure the closer will not have reading comprehension issues and understand what I wrote. The order of those sources is components first. There was consensus to change them after the closing of the previous RFC, and the edit was carried out by an admin. Yes, the "Safety of electronic cigarettes", a separate page, dealing with only medical issues, is a medical page, but thats not the page this section, or the RFC is on.AlbinoFerret 20:48, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done—S Marshall T/C 13:17, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- The RfC tag was not added until 28 December so the RfC was not open for very long and the section has not been open 30 days since the RfC tag was added, and the conversation continues with new contributors.-- PBS (talk) 13:50, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can just probably run things as they are and boldly remove the tags until the question is raised again (if ever), but it may be worth opening a request for comment so the question can be resolved properly on a more long-term basis.

I've looked at this, but I'm not sure it's wise to close it yet because there's still a featured article review in progress. I think that in this case it may be better to let the FAR fully run its course and to take its conclusions into account when closing the RfC.—S Marshall T/C 23:15, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Mustang#Capitalization RfC

Please snow-close this RFC in which a single editor is fighting to capitalize mustang and edit warred and got the article protected; time to move on. Dicklyon (talk) 01:11, 22 January 2015 (UTC) (Initiated 3798 days ago on 17 January 2015)[reply]

I don't think that's appropriate. Even if the outcome is obvious, it would be better to exhaust this step in dispute resolution properly than snow close it (and find you can't rely on this later down the track because it was closed too early). There are many reasons why a position is asserted and many ways to describe those reasons; better to let all of the comments come in first as it might resolve the dispute. As to the edit-warring, if it's just one editor who won't stop, then the editor's conduct should be at ANI so there is an interim sanction pending the outcome of the RfC. Though right now, the article's protected so there should be no issue.... Ncmvocalist (talk) 02:11, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Getting back out of the protected state so that the obvious consensus can be implemented was my point. RFCs tend to stretch out for a month if not closed when the outcome becomes obvious, which is has become here. Dicklyon (talk) 06:38, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he has attracted a couple more capitalizers now, but the outcome is still clear. The waste of time is sad and pointy. Dicklyon (talk) 05:07, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Death of Leelah Alcorn#Merge Leelah's Law

It looks like this has been sufficiently debated. An involved editor went ahead and performed the merge, but it was reverted by another involved editor. I think we need an uninvolved editor to determine consensus. St Anselm (talk) 11:41, 22 January 2015 (UTC)(Initiated 3803 days ago on 12 January 2015)[reply]

I've looked at this, StAnselm, and although the conclusion appears to be obvious at first glance, I think it might still be a little too early to close. Better to give it another few days, so that it's absolutely clear that everyone's had every chance to make their case; otherwise there's a risk of the close being overturned for being premature.—S Marshall T/C 23:22, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
