Your close at Talk:Mount Aspiring / Tititea

Kia ora, could you please elaborate on your recent close over at the above page? I don't see anywhere near enough justification to move the page based on the discussion, as the users in favour were almost entirely just votes rather than actually explaining a position, and even if they were counted then it's still reasonably even. Given the discussion hadn't been relisted once, it seems fairly premature. Turnagra (talk) 17:30, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

I generally count "just votes" by established editors as an indicator of consensus, if nothing else. While not explaining a position, they do indicate agreement, which is ultimately what we are looking for. By numbers, we have 5 for to 3 or 2 against, depending on whether you count Stuartyeates whose argument wasn't very compelling (but is worth counting if we are going to count the rest)

Numbers alone don't indicate consensus, but between that and the arguments given, a "moved" closure seemed appropriate. That said, if you or anybody else has anything to add, I'm happy to revert my closure, as ultimately the only goal is to get the best title, and there really isn't any rush to get there.

Thanks - that's understandable, but I still think that in this situation (where so many of the comments are based off a single argument and the move hasn't been relisted once) that a move is premature. If you'd be okay with reverting your close I'd greatly appreciate that! Turnagra (talk) 17:50, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

The "single argument" was the only that needed to be made as it referenced the evidence in sources and Wikipedia's policies. I see no reason why this should have been relisted, and I don't expect my !vote to be discarded just because it references a well-made point by another editor. No solid reason was given as to why that argument was wrong and the original close should stand. — Amakuru (talk) 20:50, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

I agree, and the replies should count. I won’t complain if somebody else wants to close this (which our policies allow) - the argument in question seemed the most compelling and I have confidence the move will end up settling the same way, but flip-flopping my closure will probably cause more harm than good. I just need to have more confidence in my close next time. ASUKITE 21:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
