User:Rusalkii/RfD stats

Various stats for RfD. This is all vibecoded data analysis (I used Claude Code with Opus 5); I've sanity-checked it but not very rigorously so trust at your own risk.

RfD nominations on enwiki per week, generated September 11, 2026

Time to close RfDs on enwiki, generated September 11, 2026

RfD closes more than a day past due (7 days since opening/relist

RfD days past due for closes (due = 7 days after nomination/relist

Nominators

For all sections which have individual usernames, I've manually dedupped a few with known renames/declared alternate accounts, but most renames will register as separate account. As a result, the count of unique participants will be a slight overcount.

Outcomes

This uses some heuristics to lump together non-standard closes (like "speedied" -> speedy delete, "setindexify" -> disambiguate). I checked all the major string individually but numbers may be slightly off. Doesn't handle split decisions particularly well. These are the sketchiest numbers by far, though the general trend should be correct.

Note that NACs are undercounted, as this goes off the non-admin close templates + manual correction for the top 100 closers.
