Your point is persuasive. We haven't decided and are not about to decide what the policies and guidelines are. I was about to write that maybe we need an editorial board to decide on unresolvable content guideline issues so that everyone will know how to blame, but that would be sarcasm, and, on the Internet, no one knows that you are being sarcastic.

:Thank you. I have previously proposed a parallel to ArbCom called PolCom, a series of experienced Wikipedia editors who would be elected to authoritatively close contentious RfCs. We kinda already do that with an ad-hoc three admin closing team, so I'm not sure if it's really necessary, but that would serve to provide an authoritative, representative "court of last resort" in such matters. I personally have no strong feeling on the airline destinations dispute, other than I believe because it is so wide-ranging, NOT should be construed very, very narrowly, lest it become an unbalanced trump card.

::What I wasn't proposing was a board that wouldn't so much as close the RFCs but just decide the contentious issues by their own authority. The benefit of that idea is that they would take the blame for everything. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:31, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
