Wikipedia:RfA reform 2011/Candidates

This page in a nutshell: RFA Candidates is part of the Continued RfA reform project‎. It contains research, data, and proposals to establish possible minimum criteria for adminship candidates. Please view this page in conjunction with Voter profiles. Please discuss the contents of this page on this page's talk page.

One should should demonstrate at least one year of experience as a writer and collaborator in various fields of the project. Candidates with less experience have no chance of being elected to adminship.
Candidates that do not have a significant four-digit number of edits are mostly rejected. The proportions of the edits in different namespaces is often critically examined.
