Nomination
Newslinger (talk · contribs) – I've recently noticed Newslinger making thoughtful and insightful comments on several noticeboards. I then took a lot at their contributions and was quite impressed - as well as diligently working on articles, they've got a good track record at AfD, can take care of vandals and trolls, and in particular have a flair for caretaking RfC closes, which is something not too many admins get involved in. He can talk a good argument and stand his ground when challenged by existing admins, while also respecting their views - such as this noticeboard thread about his non-admin closure of a policy change.
Like many RfA candidates, Newslinger was a little apprehensive about running the RfA gauntlet, but I really think he should give it a go. It's always good to get new blood in the admin corps, especially those who can communicate well. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:52, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
