User:ProgrammingGeek/RfA criteria

This is an essay.

It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article or a Wikipedia policy, as it has not been reviewed by the community.

I have some rigorous criteria that I check before I support an RfA.

1. Candidate must be a human being.

I will not support bots, as this kind of thing should be at BRFA.

2. Candidate must know what they are doing.

A less-stringent version of WP:Competency is required.

3. Candidate must be able to assess consensus.

That's it. That's all. They don't need to have a reason for the tools. Just be able to use them.

Wikipedians are a smart bunch. They'll be fine.
