To me, a good RfA candidate should meet the following qualifications:
However, I do not bind myself by these rules when !voting, and taking a holistic approach. It is very important that candidates be experienced in the adminship areas that they intend to work in, so logically a person who wants to work at AIV should have a strong track record of reverting and reporting vandalism. Actual content work- evidenced in article creation, expansion and maintenance- is very important in showing that the candidate understands that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and needs content to exist. I'll try to use common sense and decide whether a candidate would be a net positive for Wikipedia when !voting, also keeping in mind that it's no big deal.
