{{Done}}. I believe even an involved person should have been able to close this discussion. I am not an admin, so someone else can confirm this Soni (talk) 10:16, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
@Soni: Thanks. Contrast WP:MERGECLOSE ("Closing of merge discussions differs from closing of requested move discussions in that closings of uncontroversial merge discussions by involved users are allowed.") with WP:RMCLOSE (saying not to do so but rather to request closure here). I considered WP:IARing that after a month, but I had already said after 7 days to wait for an uninvolved closer. SilverLocust 💬 15:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Yeah that's essentially the same read I had. Technically RMCLOSE says so, but I don't see a reason to not invoke IAR here. I actually still do not know why all RMs need to go through an uninvolved closer, and I've tried to dig through talk histories for the why. Might be worth asking in WT:RM than here though Soni (talk) 16:03, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
It's mostly because uncontroversial RMs are most often closed pretty quickly by editors who check WP:RME, whereas WP:MERGE closures are much more backlogged (Category:Articles to be merged) and more complicated to implement. SilverLocust 💬 16:14, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:SpaceX Starship#RfC on IFT-3

(Initiated 55 days ago on 21 March 2024) This is a contentious issue with accusations of tendentious editing, so the RfC would benefit from a formal closure. Redraiderengineer (talk) 14:48, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

A note for the closing editor... an inexperienced editor attempted to close this discussion and didn't really address the arguments. There's been some edit warring over the close, but it should be resolved by an experienced, uninvolved editor. Nemov (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Another note for the closing editor: beware the related discussion at Talk:SpaceX Starship#Do not classify IFT-1, 2 and 3 as success or failure. Compassionate727 (T·C) 00:44, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
That discussion has only been going for two weeks and closing the RfC will not preclude editors from coming to a consensus on whether or not to remove the categorization entirely. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:28, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
{{Done}} Soni (talk) 00:55, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
@Soni Thanks for closing, but my revert of the original close wasn't out of process and it was discussed in a couple of different places including the editor's TALK. WP:CR says non-admin can close as long as they are prepared to discuss and justify their closing rationale. The editor never responded or justified their close. Given the contentious nature of the discussion the RFC required a better close. Nemov (talk) 01:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
I did read that talk page just afterwards. On second thought, I agree with you. I had mistakenly thought you were involved with the discussion, which coloured my opinion on this. I would have still preferred striking and clearly showing the removed close (given at least one editor disagreed with the revert), but I guess going through Close Challenge just for the sake of it would be pointless bureaucracy.
I still hold to my overall close; that RFC was getting punted to the second discussion no matter which way it closes. Soni (talk) 02:17, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

{{Done}}. I added a script to help me close RMs, but it failed to mark this as a technical move request(?). Is there a manual way to ask for help on "I closed this RM but the UI did not allow me to"? Right now I used CSD G6 to allow for the move, but I suspect there's a more suitable way. Soni (talk) 02:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

@Soni: Are you aware of Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests#Uncontroversial technical requests? I usually use that. Compassionate727 (T·C) 02:57, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
I now am. I vaguely saw that page earlier, but I think I decided to keep looking because it wasn't clear to me based on other sections if "I closed an RM" counted as a "uncontroversial" technical request. I'll use that page or the user script from now, thank you. Soni (talk) 03:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
It does. In fact, I'm certain I read somewhere that technical requests by RM closers should be honored even when the page mover disagrees with the close/expects that it will be challenged, although now I can't find where. Compassionate727 (T·C) 03:21, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Found it: Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Non-admin closure, paragraph #4. Although my memory of what that section said did not serve me well. Compassionate727 (T·C) 03:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
