While I agree that there is a "rough consensus" to move away from parens, I also think that there is a consensus among those supporting the change for the formulation with no punctuation (which, thought not my first preference, is acceptable to me, and seems to be acceptable to a majority of participants). I don't know that a multiple-choice RfC is necessary beyond that, or if one were had why the current system would be an option of what to "change" to. I would also not use the relatively rare instance of series requiring disambiguation by country as an illustration of the intended outcome, or at least not as the only example for a given outcome. BD2412 T 04:23, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

By the way, lest I seem ungrateful, thanks for closing this lengthy and involved discussion. I do suspect that this is one of those matters where no close will satisfy everyone involved. BD2412 T 14:16, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
@BD2412 Thank you. I'll have time to take another look this evening and I'll let you know my thoughts then. voorts (talk/contributions) 15:21, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi @BD2412: after re-evaluating, I've stuck with no consensus, but added additional reasoning to the close. Please let me know if you think I got the consensus wrong with my reasoning added, and I'd be happy to discuss further. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:33, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
That's fair. BD2412 T 13:23, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
