Oppose

1. Oppose not because I think he'd be an abusive admin, but because he's still something of a newbie and is not ready for a position of authority. Especially problematic is that he has added entries in languages that he does not mark himself as being proficient in and which do not seem to be citable per the CFI, and when I mentioned this to him, did not even respond to my queries. Admins have to know the rules inside out so that they can enforce them and instruct newbies, but DW has a ways to go. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 03:26, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
2. Oppose per Metaknowledge; unattested created terms are a problem. Can be elected in future when there are no recent cases of such terms. --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:52, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Abstain

1. Abstain - He could very well be a useful addition, but I never support such a nomination if it comes from WF. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:07, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Decision

• Failed. Not even the nominator supported the user. But that was down to scatter-brainedness more than anything else. --Type56op9 (talk) 12:14, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
