This does not seem to be a reasonable use of rescourses.
Call it "admin and patrolling" - a lot of tagging work can be done by
non-admins.

I know other porjects with more relaxed
standards. We are not however
looking at candidates with nor previous background
You need people who can speak spanish. You need admins with image
experence who can speak spanish. The only place you can get them
quickly is from the spanish wikipedia. Rather than haveing them make
200 edits which are less critial it would be mnore effective to
provide links to crash courses in commons adminship policy and then
basicaly rubber stamp their aplications.
If we can find good admin candidates for commons that people can vouch
for, that'd be great. But a mere call for admins in the first instance
would be the first thing to do, on the es: equivalent of [[WP:AN]] on
en:.

Except that people on es: will knock down admin requests for admins
coming from commons, no matter how experienced, since "admiship is not
granted by osmosis from other wikis", and you got to work a nice
editcount (circa 3000 edits for what I've gathered) and being involved
on the community noticeboard discussions

I''m not doing bad, but the percentage of opposes for the reasons
above concerns me a bit (let be recalled that es: has a culture of
"voting" for many things like adminship, deletions, etc (blank voting
for anybody over100 edits, no discussion in order to reach for
consensus))
