Closing statement
I have given this discussion quite lengthy thought but, on balance, whilst it is a close call I don't find a consensus to promote below. Although some of the opposition is stated to be weak, the merits of the points raised by the opposers are recognised by many of those supporting. The problematic past CSD tagging is clearly relevant to the area in which Slon02 proposes to take part as an admin and has to be given appropriate weight. In light of that, I think this request falls short of the sort of consensus that is required before users can be made administrators.
Slon02 will no doubt benefit from more experience and I hope he will apply again in a few months once he has addressed the concerns raised below. WJBscribe(talk)20:15, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
