Topic on User talk:MisterSynergy

Did you notice that the user here only made a few deletion requests just the day before the nom? In 3 years of contributing.

Not really, but it does not matter for me. The user seems to have steady contributions in Wikidata and huwiki for years now, they have some basic experience with elevated rights at huwiki, there is no track record of a difficult discussion behavior, and they promise to start carefully with the tools. In my opinion, (most of) Wikidata adminship is no big deal, and I am optimistic with most candidates that their adminship will work out for us and for them even if I don’t know them very well.

Surely. We should encourage more, but try to avoid hat-collecting. Granting it to users who were never really active in a field seems odd.

A problem with deletions at Wikidata is that they are hard to monitor for non-admins. Yours may be the exception as you include the item's label in the log. By chance I noticed that some admin deleted stuff on a somewhat random basis. Fortunately it seems to have gotten better.

Well, I don’t have a feeling that hat-collection is a relevant concern here. Admins which are more interested in the sysop bit than in actual administrative work are pretty soon de-sysoped anyway, due to our admin inactivity policy.

The item’s labels are automatically pre-filled in the dialog presented on the deletion page (the standard deletion venue for items which have not been requested to be deleted via WD:RfD). We formerly had less distinctive descriptions instead, but the community requested this to be changed roughly half a year ago. There may be reasons to crop or completely remove this information from the deletion log for privacy reasons, but in my experience this is a pretty rare scenario. I think that most deletions should indicate what the item was about.

Have a look at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=delete&user=&page=&wpdate=2018-08-10&tagfilter=&subtype=

Yes I am aware of that. From my experience this is not the standard behavior if one calls ?action=delete (Alt+Shift+D) from an item page. You may ask the admins whether they intentionally remove this information from the free text field, or whether they have a different deletion routine in which this information is not automatically provided by the software.
