Voting
- Oppose - If an assistant wants to close discussions, they should just work their way up to administrators. There is a reason there are different levels of privileges. Granting assistants the same things for administrators gets to the point where the assistant position wouldn't be necessary. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 16:26, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

- There are some discussions that require more time. There is no need to rush things that may need more thought put into them. What makes you think this proposal will change things? — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 17:29, December 27, 2016 (UTC)
- Cans, I've told you plenty of times in the Skype to have patience when it comes to things like this. I'm being direct by saying this but the way you've been acting lately, you can consider those as warnings. ZeoSpark Talk Contribs Edits 17:32,12/27/2016

- Support - As an assistant, I would like to have the ability to close discussions just like bureaucrats and administrators. - Jensonk
- Oppose - As an assistant, I have to say that it doesn't feel right to just close discussions like that. I believe that assistant is really just an editing role after all. The Ninja5 Empire (Message Wall) 05:19, December 28, 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose - the assistant right is mainly focused on editing articles. ѕqυι∂∂ℓєωαя∂ ❮мεssαgε ωαℓℓ ● cσηтяιвυтισηs ● ε∂ιтcσυηт❯ 05:23, December 28, 2016 (UTC)
