Status as of 23:57 (UTC), Friday, 7 February 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 and was closed at Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Requests_for_comment/Article_creation_at_scale/Closing_statement#Update_after_the_run-off.
- 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.
- A discussion of how to define article creation at scale in anticipation of running an RfC started Nov 5 at idea lab.
