Some of the discussions at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 January 2 are over one month old and should be relisted or dispositioned. -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 07:07, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Because so many WP:BLP talk page discussions are about this issue over and over again, and variations on it have been brought to WP:Reliable Sources Noticebaord repeatedly - and because the articles all are under Austrian economics/General sanctions - it would be helpful if an experienced admin could close this WP:RSN thread. There seems to be a fairly clear, but less than perfect consensus. It was opened January 9th and the last comments were January 12, so if it's not ready for a close now, by the time someone has time to look at it, it should be ripe. Thanks.

There were related discussions about this at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive764#Request for move protection at "Men's rights", and other action (August 2012) and Wikipedia talk:Article titles/Archive 39#RfC: RM is standard practice for reaching broad consensus for controversial page moves (October 2012), and there was no consensus that RfC couldn't also be used to move pages.
I think it is better to list move requests under WP:RM, where the RM tag is removed only when the discussion is closed, whereas many discussions listed under RfC are unclosed after the RfC tag is removed by the bot.
To answer your question, the next step is to wait for an admin to close the requested moves discussion. Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 10:33, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:High Speed 2#RfC on Units (initiated 20 January 2014)? According to this comment by an involved editor, "Opinions from outside editors were overwhelmingly in support of the metric unit precedence." The disputed change was first made on 26 November 2013. An edit war followed on 1 January 2014. There was a lengthy discussion beginning 1 January 2014 about units at Talk:High Speed 2#Units.
I ask the closing editor to combine the two related "Units" section and assess the consensus in both discussions. Otherwise, I ask that the closer mention in the close that he or she considered the previous discussion.
Given the robust discussion and the edit war, a formal close by an uninvolved editor would be helpful in recording the consensus. Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 10:33, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Template talk:Main#Multiple articles and one main article (initiated 16 January 2013)? Please see the subsection Template talk:Main#RfC (initiated 15 January 2014)? The opening poster of the RfC wrote:
Should the main tag also be used at the top of articles for purpose #2 (as discussed above -- to tag an article that is not the main article for its topic e.g. see history of Bitcoin [1]) or should it remain recommend only for its well-established purpose #1 to point to the main article only in summary sections elsewhere?

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Li (surname)#RFC regarding multiple Chinese surnames transliterated to the same surname in English (initiated 19 November 2013)? The opening poster wrote:
There have been various discussions over the last few months both on this talk page and at Talk:Li (surname meaning "profit") Archive 1, Archive 2 (and probably elsewhere, I can't remember!), resulting in a recent AfD, and subsequent overturning of the "merge" decision to "no censensus" at the deletion review. We seem to be at a stalemate situation, with one group of editors fully supporting a merge, and another dead against it, and to be frank, it has turned a little nasty. We really need wider views on this, but I hope any editor wishing to contribute here will take the time to read the previous history and fully take into account the points raised by both sides in the past. It may be a good idea for us editors who have been most active in the previous discussions to take minimal part in this one, in order to have some fresh opinions given, and to avoid the same spiral we have been going down. Points that should be addressed should consider whether there is a necessity to have separate articles, or whether a single umbrella article will do, and if multiple articles are deemed necessary, how these should be named with regard to the use of Chinese characters in the article titles. Thanks!

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Đorđe Pelinović#Move (initiated 9 January 2014)? See also Talk:Đorđe Pelinović#RFC (initiated 9 January 2014), which received very little input. The opening poster wrote:
This move goes against most common name in English: A simple research in google books will yield nothing for Pelinovic. Most common name is Gjergj Pelini, but I will agree to a move to George Pellinus, which is what Robert Elsie calls him in his historical dictionary.
From Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Determining consensus:
However, sometimes a requested move is filed in response to a recent move from a long existing name that cannot be undone without administrative help. Therefore, if no consensus has been reached, the closer should move the article back to the most recent stable title. If no recent title has been stable, then the article should be moved to the title used by the first major contributor after the article ceased to be a stub.
Note that according to Wikipedia:Consensus#No consensus:
“ In article title discussions, no consensus has two defaults: If an article title has been stable for a long time, then the long-standing article title is kept. If it has never been stable, or has been unstable for a long time, then it is moved to the title used by the first major contributor after the article ceased to be a stub. ” Therefore, if a page has been moved from a longstanding title, and it is not possible to move the page back to its original title during the discussion, the default title will be the title prior to the contested move.
If the closer concludes that no consensus has been reached, I recommend moving the article back to its stable title. Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 10:19, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

There are multiple issues. I reverted a relist as I think prolonging this discussion is disruptive. There was never a deletion argument. Topic is litigious. Nude photos of the topic are part of the discussion, and editors are using f-bombs. The topic is a pastor and editors are using profanity. Note that I requested review at WP:BLP for the f-bombs and profanity. The bots are still having trouble a week after the initial opening of the AfD.

This is something of a snow close request. The template was nominated for deletion on specious grounds by an editor who has had run-ins with the creating editor. Since then, only one other person has said to delete: another editor who has had a run-in with the creating editor.

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia#Adding stress marks to Russian names (initiated 8 January 2014)? The discussion is listed at Template:Centralized discussion. The opening poster wrote:
Hi all, as some of you will know, some time ago there was a proposal to remove stress marks from Russian words that appear inside the text of articles on the English Wikipedia. The decision was to keep the stress marks, as there is consensus that they are useful.
Because they are useful, some of us are interested in taking this to the next level, and actively add stress marks to as many articles as possible. We'll only work on Russian words that appear inside calls to the lang-ru template, and we will only add the stress marks when we are sure that it is safe to do so, that is, that the information is correct and there is no ambiguity.
Could I please ask you guys if there is consensus for this task? I would really appreciate your support, because I want to improve as many articles as possible.

Opened February 4th. It has not been 30 days, but there have been no comments for 10 days and consensus seems clear enough to assess. Because I have a COI, I don't think it is appropriate for me to close the RfC boldly and make the corresponding edits, so I am requesting a disinterested admin evaluate consensus.

Not formally closed, but the "none" contingent thinks there is a good reason to delete, e.g. the WP:SECONDARY book at [6].

With good faith I made two parallel RfCs on Talk:Ukraine and Talk:Russia. In retrospect, this is was a dumb idea as they could have incongruent outcomes. As the RfC on Talk:Ukraine has much more discussion and was the first, I request that the one on Talk:Russia be closed and discussion be directed to Talk:Ukraine#Request_for_Comment. Thank you.

It has been over a week of discussion on a timely matter. While I see a certain consensus, the issue is quite touchy and a bit of a battleground. Discussion seems to be dwindling and certain users (myself included) have basically been WP:HORSE. It seems ready to be closed to me, but I would like to request that an admin or uninvolved 3rd party consider closing this RfC based on the many many comments and policy arguments made. Note that the RfC has five subsections to it. Thank you! EvergreenFir ( talk) 23:28, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
