The following discussion is an archived debate of the nomination of a user for adminship. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this page.

Result: Candidate was not promoted to sysop. The reason for this was a lack of experience and no need for the user to receive the position.

Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.
Hey. I'm Toon Ganondorf, but I'm commonly known as Toon or TG. I am an avid lover of the Super Smash brothers series and Wiki. I am quite punctual; I'm online at least twice a day, three if the situation allows.
In my short time in this wiki I have contributed (and hopefully improved) nearly 250 articles. I have also written three articles myself; Replaced Characters, Riolu and Turtwig.
I have good relations with a lot of the users on this Wiki, and I feel that new users would have no problem coming to me for help. I have dealt with vandalism from users and rude attacks on other users from a contributor who I shall not name. I was not able to block this user myself and it is this that inspired me to become a user.
As a sysop I would get rid of the people that make hurtful attacks on users, clean the vandalism, write as many of the Wanted pages as possible and merge others. I have merged two articles before, but was unable to delete the blank articles and was forced to ask SilverDragon706 to do it for me. This was also a strong reason for my push for adminship.
I would only ever use my powers for good, and I would never block a user unless there was a good reason. I love this Wiki, and I will do whatever it takes to make it the best.
I would love to become an admin and I hope that you will consider my application. --Toon Ganondorf^CHAT 07:24, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

• Oppose. Sorry, but you're a bit new here with less than 100 mainspace edits, and nothing else across wikia. Also, you don't demonstrate any desire for the tools for any reasons that would need them. Making articles on the wanted list, reverting vandalism, and general cleanup don't require those tools. As for the vandalism, I'm assuming you want to be able to block the users in question. However, this should not be seen as the reason to become a sysop. I'd be more supportive if you had been doing regular spot checks and been marking many things for deletions and constantly reporting vandals or delete pages. However, the fact that you have only two instances of these does not demonstrate the need for the tools. Finally, you description of how you merged pages shows that you wouldn't understand how to use the tools if they were given to you. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 15:48, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose. Don't take it personally, but I've yet to see enough out of you to show that you're qualified for the position. {My name is Miles, and I approve this message.} 15:54, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose - I love agreeing with CHawk. He makes it so easy. --Sky (t · c · w) 20:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose. What Clarinet Hawk said. --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 23:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Neutral

• Neutral: At this point, I don't feel that TG is experienced enough. Edits have been mostly good, but there just isn't anything that stands out. Nothing negative to say, though. Just needs some time to do more and learn more about this place. Silverdragon706/FyreNWater - (T • C ) 23:22, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
