(Initiated 128 days ago on 27 January 2025) RfC has been open for a month. Please let me know if a formal closure is required here, as I think only one of the two conditions in Wikipedia:Requests for comment § Closing the discussion is satisfied. Malerisch (talk) 05:50, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Paine Ellsworth, there was some concern about whether my closure was proper. Would you be willing to take a quick look and comment on my talk page? I’m looking to add a second opinion that might help two involved editors assess where they should ask me to reopen or take to closure review. Dw31415 (talk) 20:54, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

(Initiated 118 days ago on 5 February 2025) Was closed a week early, then underwent closure review. Someone reopened it up. Maybe wait another week or so for full month before closing again? User:Bluethricecreamman (Talk·Contribs) 01:47, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Closure happens when discussion fizzles out or doesn't go anywhere. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:55, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
🙋‍♂️The RfC tag was not replaced in reverting the close. Should it be? (cc: @Aaron Liu) Dw31415 (talk) 13:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Yes (99.99% sure). TurboSuperA+ () 13:46, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
No, it would've already expired; RfC tags expire after 30 days of being placed.
Edit: Actually you could if you want since there aren't many firm rules and there was a week to go. Just remember to preserve the rfcid parameter. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:02, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

I'd prefer to wait the last week out, honestly. Three participants is not really enough to establish consensus in any direction for an RfC with potentially broad effect like this, and while no one else has commented in a while, and it will probably close with no consensus per the above, might as well give the chance to make this a worthwhile RfC.

(Initiated 103 days ago on 21 February 2025) Stale since Feb 27, with much of the attention having shifted to a broader related WikiProject meta-discussion at WT:NBA#Discussion on allowing "greatest" in the lead of all NBA players. Seems like an example of WP:RFC#Reasons and ways to end RfCs point 3: The dispute may be moved to another dispute resolution forum. The project discussion itself may merit its own RfC at some point, but it seems inappropriate to have two related RfCs running in parallel in different venues.

Should an administrator close this? I’m guessing yes, but asking for all non-admins. I wouldn’t attempt it because it looks like a 90/10 type of result, but I’m not familiar enough with the policies or principles that minority is raising. Dw31415 (talk) 15:26, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
It's quite a big change, so I think an admin (or at least someone very experienced at closing) should take this on. BugGhost 🦗👻 16:04, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Will note that my first ever closure of anything (IIRC, at worst it was my 3rd ever) was the WP:AELECT proposal itself. I want to encourage any interested and experienced editor who perhaps doesn't have much (or any) close history and is lurking to give it a shot if they feel they possess sufficient reading comprehension skills and knowledge of policy. WP:BOLD doesn't just apply to editing articles, and so long as it's done in good faith and you can demonstrate you gave the discussion a thorough read, it's unlikely anything catastrophic will happen. We can always use more closers given the amount of work they take to do. Worst case is being asked to self-revert. Worse than that is likely due to forces unrelated to the closer or because the closer grossly misinterpreted their competency in the aforementioned skills. —Sirdog (talk) 02:30, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. If you made a mistake, the community will just vote to indef TBAN you from closing. No big deal. There are plenty of other ways to contribute to Wikipedia. TurboSuperA+ () 06:07, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

🙋‍♂️I’ve got some ideas on how to close after reflecting on my previous mistakes. If you’re a 10k+ editor (more experienced is even better) and would like to collaborate to close, please let me know. I’m thinking it will be difficult to find an uninvolved administrator and there’s some benefit to a naive closure. Please ping me to your talk page if interested. Dw31415 (talk) 15:11, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Don't worry yourselves. There are well over 300 current and active admins (and almost all the bureaucrats) who didn't make an assertion in the process, so literally hundreds of suitable and trusted admin closers. This is not a discussion anyone should be encouraged to close; Sirdog's bold confidence did not work out well for Dw31415's laborious good faith effort. This was always going to be an RfC which ran the full thirty days. BTW, this board is not generally for discussing editors' various experience with closes, but about directly responding to listed close requests. The undue chatter in this listing ignores that those disagreeing with this close will likely include admins well-prepared to defend their varying view. I'll gently advise the folks in this discussion to pipe down, and allow a closer broadly trusted by the community to self-select. BusterD (talk) 17:12, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
The ITN criteria amendments RfC, which was of a similar scale, took nearly 4 months and an AN thread for closers to self-select. Is it time for an AN nag for this RfC as well? Aaron Liu (talk) 14:14, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Aaron Liu originally listed it here with the comment "Fizzled out, round in circles, consensus seems clear" which I find sums it up well apart from "consensus seems clear" downplays just how overwhelmingly clear it is. Reposting it as it still needs closure. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 19:28, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm considering closing this, but don't want to blunder into an area I haven't interacted with before. Could somebody please explain what the function of the fringe theories noticeboard is, and what impact an unqualified "yes" consensus could be expected to have? I'm trying to wrap my head around the couple of procedural opposes. Compassionate727 (T·C) 00:13, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
Honestly, I think after the previous closure I'd prefer trying to get an admin in, but: WP:FTN is mainly for editors to point out when someone is trying to make edits pushing "fringe theories", i.e. theories that are clearly outside the mainstream. Or at least that's what easily 90% of topics are about.
The point of a "yes" consensus here is to have something to point to when someone tries to make edits pushing certain types of anti-trans misinformation, such as that trans identity is a mental illness.
There's a bunch of active RFCs on similar topics on that noticeboard right now because a) someone tried to revisit the status of a certain organization (SEGM) as widely considered WP:FRINGE and b) during that discussion someone pointed out that what it means for an organization to be WP:FRINGE wasn't well defined and maybe it would be better to try to nail down what actual theories were WP:FRINGE instead. Loki (talk) 00:24, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
TL;DR: it means it is a fringe theory covered by the Wikipedia:Fringe theories policy. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:16, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
I'll second that I think it's better for an admin to close, but also want to note that wrt an area I haven't interacted with before: you did perform an overturned NAC on the Telegraph on trans topics RFC, where the Telegraph's pathologization of trans people was heavily discussed.talk:Compassionate727#Telegraph RFC Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 04:14, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
By "area" I think he meant the Fringe theories policy. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:44, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

  • Comment. TarnishedPath I just closed the related Denali Moratorium and, because it's related, I skimmed this one as well. I'm probably more willing to make early closures than most closers, but my intuition is telling me this close request is too hasty. The goal of a close is to get compliance and at least grudging respect from everyone, and I have the feeling that everyone would be best served by allowing this situation to bake in a bit more. Alsee (talk) 09:38, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
    @Alsee I heavily suspect it's as baked as it's going to get. However, there's absolutely no harm in leaving it a bit to make sure. TarnishedPathtalk 10:05, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
    TarnishedPath I didn't mean 'baked in' as in needing more votes. I meant in terms of people coming to terms with what is already there, and potentially not being blindsided or hostile or argumentative regarding the closure itself. One factor in my intuition is that I didn't see any mention about making an early closure request. The normal default expectation is 30 days. Had there been multiple people talking about an early close request, then it would be far less shocking to discover that somebody had indeed dropped in and put a close on it.

In an ideal world, the secondary discussion would be merged or closed, given the first one had way more editors opining. But the talk page is a massive mess, so I'm not surprised at the many parallel discussions.
In either case, I would prefer someone other than you properly closing the first merge discussion (even if Involved) because I'd like to not risk WP:BRD coming in the way of proper article writing. Soni (talk) 06:24, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Unarchiving/relisting here as the close was overturned as a WP:BADNAC by an WP:INVOLVED editor per this close review Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 16:36, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
  • After the mountain of bullshit I got from The Telegraph RFC close, I'm not touching this close with a ten foot barge pole, but I'll opine here that this is a very nasty trap for the inexperienced closer. The discussion isn't hosted on WP:RSN, which I think means that even though there's consensus that this outlet is advancing a fringe narrative, nevertheless the outcome shouldn't be the effective deprecation of a source.
This wants a triumvirate close, made by people who have high bullshit tolerance and asbestos talk pages.—S Marshall T/C 13:26, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
1) There was already a RSN discussion which found It is fairly clear from this discussion that this advocacy organisation is not reliable for facts about transgender topics (including medical topics), or such is the consensus here[3] - so SEGM is effectively deprecated already
2) I don't think this is a "very nasty trap", there's something like 3-1 consensus this organization is notable entirely on the basis of its FRINGE advocacy. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 23:06, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
Slight terminology glitch: GenerallyUNRELiable, not Deprecated, which would involve an edit filter and a bot, though I'm sure Marhsall also meant GUNREL.
I also disagree that such discussions must also be discussed at RSN as Fringe already deals with very similar topics (and its noticeboard might in fact be better at dealing with such topics), and there a lessons to be learnt a prospective closer can absorb from the Telegraph close review. Aaron Liu (talk) 23:19, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
The lesson is that when S Marshall makes a close that there's no consensus about the Telegraph's reliability on trans issues and WP:RSP should say so, it triggers a revert, a counter-revert, a formal overturning of the first revert, a close review, a revert of the close review close, a counter-revert, and a formal overturning of the close review close, totalling more than 150,000 words of argument; then nobody touching it for two months until Sandstein re-closes the first discussion to say there's no consensus about the Telegraph's reliability on trans issues, and now RSP says so -- leading to S Marshall's original close being fully reinstated with slightly different wording and other people's signatures.
This stuff is so incredibly toxic that it's not to be touched by any one editor.—S Marshall T/C 08:16, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
100% co-sign. Not touching this. FOARP (talk) 13:29, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
As the person who opened that close review, my issue with that close has always been the very wording (which involves reasoning) that was changed, and I've said so from the start of the review. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:57, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Honestly, anyone can see that the RfC declared SEGM as "fringe", and I'm saying this as someone who !voted it not to be fringe.
However, literally nobody has discussed the implications of SEGM being fringe. That is why it's a "nasty trap": it's basically impossible to do an actual close when there's so much substantial disagreement over what being a "fringe organization" means, so this'll probably float here for the next few months until someone closes with the two words "it's fringe", and for the next few months there will be talk page arguments where people debate what that RfC outcome actually entails.
If I were closing this (which I can't, because I'm WP:INVOLVED), I would call SEGM fringe, then tell everyone to start a new discussion to write WP:FRINGEORG or something else. Since I can't close this, I'd recommend to Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist to consider creating a WP:FRINGEORG policy, since in the 2-3 months this RfC will stew waiting for a closer it'll be possible to resolve most of the substantive disagreements that occurred at that RfC. Chess (talk) (please mention me on reply) 02:42, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
@Chess Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard#Guilt by association seems to me discussion plenty. Aaron Liu (talk) 03:52, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Thank you Chess for saying that so well.—S Marshall T/C 07:31, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
There are several concerns with this RFC that I believe the closer should carefully consider. First, the RFC opens with a non-neutral introduction, which is contrary to WP:RFC guidelines requiring a neutral presentation of the question. Second, the RFC falls outside the scope of the Fringe Theories Noticeboard, which is intended for discussion of theories, not organizations, making this RFC procedurally flawed. The wording of the RFC was altered by the nominator to state that SEGM is an "organization that only exists to promote FRINGE viewpoints about trans healthcare", without identifying specific viewpoints believed to be fringe. Some users asked whether an organization that promotes a range of views, only some of which could possibly be considered fringe, can actually be designated as a fringe organization. SEGM’s main positions are opposition to the medical transition of minors, particularly through the use of puberty blockers, [4] and support for psychotherapy as a first-line treatment. [5] Both of these positions have been separately discussed on the same noticeboard. A parallel RFC regarding puberty blockers reached a strong consensus that opposition to their use is not a fringe position (see [6]) and there was no consensus that prioritizing psychotherapy constitutes a fringe position. In fact, both positions align with current medical policy in several European countries, multiple U.S. states and recent guidance from the U.S. federal administration. I think any closure must address the procedural issues, the outcomes of the related RFCs, the lack of clear identification within the RFC question of any actually fringe ideas promoted by SEGM and decide whether the RFC needs to be redone in accordance with the Wikipedia rules to discuss specific theories promoted by SEGM and not the organization in general. -JonJ937 (talk) 09:36, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Please move your reiteration of arguments to the Fringe theories noticeboard. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:51, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
This is almost entirely false:
1) The RFC question itself is neutral, the short RFCBEFORE had no need to be
2) FTN is absolutely the place to discuss whether an individual or group is known for Fringe bullshit
3) There is no need to specify all their FRINGE viewpoints clarifying the scope of the question
4) The RFC discussed multiple FRINGE positions by SEGM: Claiming ROGD exists, promoting Gender exploratory therapy, lobbying in favor of legislative bans on GAC, and pathologizing trans identities
4.2) The related RFC on the pathologization of trans identities with a clear consensus that pathologizing trans people is FRINGE is another one to take into account As is your continued insistence there we can't say the theory that being trans is frequently caused by mental illness is FRINGE
5) both positions align with current medical policy in several European countries, multiple U.S. states and recent guidance from the U.S. federal administration - 1) See Transgender health care misinformation#European nations are banning gender-affirming care and 2) Pointing out Trump and Republican governors agree with you is an awful defense against accusations of FRINGE
This is also, as Aaron Liu noted, not the place to try and relitigate the RFC. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 14:08, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
I would make the same note of this reply as well. Please move your discussion that's actually about the RfC topic and not just about closing the RfC to the more transparent venue that has no possibility of clogging the CR watchlist. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:22, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
It is not my intention to restart the argument here. I am only pointing out procedural issues that the closer needs to take into account, including discussions on some individual positions held by SEGM. JonJ937 (talk) 15:35, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

This page is for neutrally requesting closes, not debating the merits of the discussion. voorts (talk/contributions) 15:49, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Overall discussion started on the 20th, but a refresh to consolidate discussion and vote was made a bit later. Involved editor, but seems as though the Option A here has emerged as the narrow consensus here. No new discussion in last 3 days. Still need non-involved editor/admin to assess separately and close here though. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 16:51, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

I should probably note now that any uninvolved that assess this come to a consensus not just based off the option choices, seeing as in the time since I posted this it’s gotten close vote wise. Right now, looking at the broader picture, there appears to be broad consensus taking shape to keep a date range in the title. (and if you’re trying to be specific, as I’m typing this, the date range choices combined are leading over the simple titles). I say this just so we don’t end up with a contested closure like the one that befell the Tri-State tornado page above it seems. Hope that helps! MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 04:12, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Concensus seems to have shifted to E/NC based on a vote yesterday. — EF5 14:56, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Actually no. The date range options (A B and C) combined outweigh the non-date range votes (D and E) combined by a lot (12-9). Saying it shifted to E would probably be improper consensus as the majority so far want to keep the date range and would pretty likely get contested like the Tri-State. MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 20:24, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
MarioProtIV, you can't close something as "ABC". It's either "A", "B", or "C". This isn't the place for further arguments on this anyways. — EF5 15:53, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
I participated in this discussion, but will try to give a list of votes not clumped together in an unbiased way.
A - 6
B - 3
C - 3
D - 3
E - 7 (see below)
It's clear that there isn't consensus. On Mario's point of the clumped votes, I counted one user who supported the date ranges but didn't give a letter-based vote (@Tornado Tracker2:) and one user (can you ping IPs?) who opposed A through C but never voted in support of not having a date range. I also counted one user who opposed the refresh as a whole (@Fram:), but I'm not going to interpret their comment one way or another as that would be biased. Pinging both users because you obviously don't want to misinterpret a vote. — EF5 18:35, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
But there is broader consensus to keep the date range. And out of the options that have those, A leads them. This isn’t biased, this is simply evaluating the options to see where consensus is. As stated before, choosing E would be biased bc there are more votes that call for a date range then for that single option alone. MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 18:47, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
MarioProtIV, A and E both have six votes, meaning that both are on the same level. If this discussion was just about a date range or not, why did you give five different options, just to later clump them together as some sort of WP:SUPERVOTE? As stated, I counted one IP who opposed A-C, and that comment is easy to find. — EF5 18:49, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
There were 5 options because several other people suggested them in the earlier parts of the discussion. But as the vote continued I realized they were getting very close and was concerned that an improper consensus would be formed that would actually not represent what the majority of users voted for, in this case keeping a date range on the title. MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 18:53, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
...so you were concerned that consensus would shift and as such decided to clump them together to avoid the "refresh" closing the way you hoped? Last comment here, but that's exactly what I thought the refresh was trying to eliminate. — EF5 18:58, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
You are twisting my words here. I became concerned that it would close with a result that was not representative of the vote at large (more people want to keep the date range vs no), and would be contested by users afterward, seeing that E was a title that somewhat WP:UNDUE in nature given the main weather event (the tornado outbreak) that was WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. At this point the discussion has shifted from the inclusion of the California tornado or not to trying to do away with the date range. I saw what happened with the whole Tri-State move saga, which is what I want to avoid. I did a refresh to consolidate discussion because people kept bringing up more options in subsequent talk sections and I was not wanting to have this all over the place. At this point it’s gotten so contentious I wonder if it’d just be better to close it as no consensus seeing where we’re at and just start a new RM for moving it to be "Tornado outbreak and dust storm of March 1x–1x, 2025" or something seeing how that is the primary issue right now. MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 19:14, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
MarioProtIV, not to mention the non-neutral wording of the refresh, which states things like Brouggt up by some but opposed by some as well because even though it tries to associate the dust storm and fires and blizzard with it, I feel that gives them WP:UNDUE weight given how much more deadly and destructive the tornado outbreak was as well as that being WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. and a vague title brought up by some that I feel is too broad. I mean, you used your personal opinion in the opening statement and as such compromised consensus. This is not how RMs (or whatever the heck you'd call this mess) are supposed to open. — EF5 15:10, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
I said before it’d be better to close this as no consensus and start a new one instead because of how long and contentious this is. MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 15:13, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
I already gave my !vote before the irregular "refresh" partway through the RfC, but you can add me to the count for "E" (with "D" second choice: A, B and C don't even match the actual contents of the page, which just lists tornadoes of the 14th and 15th!). I don't think involved people are supposed to pre-indicate consensus anyway, that's a conscious or unconscious attempt to influence the voter, but since we are here anyway I left my comment as well. Fram (talk) 18:51, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Fair enough, I'll stop commenting. — EF5 18:52, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Just adding here in case it’s not been said, that discussion has been open for two months and needs closure. As noted below, whoever closes should also look at #Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather#Requested move 20 March 2025 as well since both are related to the same move requests. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 15:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
Also noting this RM also was started by a sock that was apparently blocked a day after the RM was made and yet I or no one else saw this. Not quite sure if this merits as tainted as well considering afterwards no sockpuppetry appeared to occur, but that is up to non-involved to assess.
