This guy closed (summarized and marked as “wassup my gs this discussion is done yo so don’t speak here anymore ‘kay?”) a controversial request for comment. Someone disagreed with how the discussion was summarized and took the close to closure review. So far so good.
Then, this admin shows up and suddenly demands the closer to withdraw the close despite how people were still discussing in the closure review, threatening to reopen it himself. The closer and three others told him “no. please don’t” four times (pictured) in some back and forth, and then the admin did it and used admin powers to keep the controversial RfC open. The last two comments were in response to this.
The admin was then taken to administrative action review, where he was heavily admonished by an amount of editors in the double digits.
There’s no associated article. This is at an “internal” noticeboard.
Per Wikipedia rules (WP:CANVASSING), it’s not very productive to have a ton of new people suddenly comment, similar to the rule against brigading on certain sites, so I’m not going to name the specific page.

I still feel like I am missing a lot of context but it was a good sip of tea.
What page?
Could you clarify?
What article is this talk page for?
