Featured portal candidates - Archival instructions
To archive a nomination |
---|
Any editor in good standing is welcome to analyse consensus in a nomination, and close it accordingly. There are featured portal directors who are trusted and willing to close difficult or contentious nominations in which they haven't expressed an opinion. If you would like to ask that a nomination be closed, have concerns over a closure, or seek clarification in any regard, please ask at the talk page.
