` September 2011 (UTC) ::::Seven days is the period used for other discussions, including deletion debates, so if you have an issue with debates being closed after seven days, I would suggest you propose a major policy change. As I understand it the longer periods are for resolving disagreements, and trying to build consensus if one does not already exist. Secondly, if you can find an alternative closure than support for a proposal which has unanimous support; therefore it is a situation where any personal biases would not affect the outcome. Finally, please can we stop pointing fingers and arguing fine points of policy, and get on with trying to improve the article. '''''''''' 08:13, 25`
