Forum:CT Archive/RFA Rule 5

I've noticed that the fifth requirement for adminship is as follows: "They have had at least some major article creations." Now, while this doubtless made sense two years ago when the Wookieepedia was founded, it's hardly possible for anyone who joined more than six months after it was established to meet that requirement. There simply aren't any major articles left to create. This requirement technically disqualifies a great many otherwise well-qualified users. Now, the reason people have kept getting promoted is that it's simply ignored. However, there's not much point to having a requirement that isn't enforced, is there? This requirement is obsolete, yet with it still on the books, it could be used to technically obstruct an otherwise flawless candidacy by a disruptive user. It certainly doesn't serve any purpose remaining up there. Therefore, I suggest that it be removed. If people wish, a rule suggesting that candidates must have shown a commitment to editing articles and have some sort of significant contributions to point at, but the current wording isn't useful at all. It's not doing any good; remove it before it does any harm. Havac 23:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
