i think you actually want to use the validator e.g as a raw NaN would not work here

can you expand on this? do you expect something other than Decimal objects to work here?

NaNs are valid as well here; but more important is that every validator has the same pattern. a is_* function e.g. is_decimal_array, which should call here.

since decimal has Decimal("nan"), i wouldnt expect to accept np.nan here

yeah ok, though i think we could actually accept np.nan as well and infer a decimal if that is the case (as we do this for all other dtypes). can you open an issue.
