Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Requests for comment/Article creation at scale/status
Status as of 06:43 (UTC), Monday, 30 June 2025 ()
- In August 2022 ArbCom directed the community to conduct a Request for comment regarding article deletions at scale.
- Initial community input indicated an RfC regarding article creations at scale would be a helpful precursor, and ArbCom confirmed this was within scope.
- Discussion of structure and scope of the workshopping phase to develop this first RfC happened here.
- The workshopping began August 31 and ended September 10 at Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Requests for comment/Article creation at scale.
- RfC on article creation at scale began October 3, 2022 and was closed by the panel November 4 at WP:Arbitration Committee/Requests for comment/Article creation at scale/Closing statement. Closers requested a 7-day runoff to gain consensus for a multi-part question; that runoff began Nov 5 here, will remain open for at least 7 days, and will be closed at closers' discretion.
- This RfC has been announced at the articles for deletion talk page, the Arbitration Noticeboard, the administrators' noticeboard, the Bot policy talk page, Village pump (policy), Wikipedia talk:Notability, Centralized discussion, Notability (academics), Did you know, List of Wikipedians by article count and the wikiprojects Women in Red, Historic sites, Architecture, UK geography, Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and Cheshire.
- The workshopping for the RfC on article deletions at scale is being held here; timeline for that RfC TBA.
