Move decision on Hibiscus Coast Busway Station
Hi TheBirdsShedTears

Thanks for all the great work that you do on Wikipedia. I just wanted to highlight an error that I think you made on the closure of a move discussion. The original proposer of the discussion, Schwede66, withdrew their support for the move on 25th of January and changed their position to oppose the move. This effectively created a consensus to oppose the move (and take action to move other pages). For the following 9-day-period, no other users commented to challenge the consensus, but the discussion wasn't closed. On 5 February, two users commented to make arguments supporting the move. However, in my view, these comments were irrelevant to the discussion and didn't engage with any of the arguments made that had led to us reaching a consensus to oppose, therefore they didn't do anything to change the consensus. However, only a mere 3 days later (much less than the 9-day period in which the discussion previously hadn't been closed) the discussion was closed and moved. In light of this, I believe that the decision should have been consensus not to move or, at the bare minimum (even if the comments made on 5 February had been relevant to the points raised, which they weren't), the discussion should not have been closed so as to allow other users to respond.

I would like to request that you change this to not moved to avoid the need for a move review

Thanks
