Sounds like an irc star. That would explain a fan club. I can't stand
irc, but I have no objection to folks who can constructively banter
becoming administrators. They are skilled communicators. It is a lot
harder for a sensible hard-headed person to become liked than for
someone who is well liked to become a capable administrator. It seems
reasonable to me. Creating good new articles is not one of the duties
of an administrator anyway.

This is a user
whose only attempt to create an article is [[vitaminwater]] which is
really bad. He does however have overwhelming support (even from a
couple of people I know) and clearly has a huge fanclub, and he hasnt
done anything blatently wrong (apart from a perhaps unnecessary RfC).
I was wondering about suggesting a mentoring program in how to
write an
article perhaps, which would be something I would be interested in
creating anyway.
I am sure he wont do any harm as an admin, but it all seems a bit odd.
