RadioFan ( talk · contribs) – For my first RfA nomination, I am pleased to present RadioFan to the community. I have come across him many times in articles about radio stations, which is an area of the project that I believe has significant room for improvement. As a tireless contributor to that specific area and one of the top 250 most-active Wikipedians overall (appx 43,000 edits as of the preparation of this nomination statement), I am confident that RadioFan has the knowledge and common sense to do well in an administrative role and would very much be a net positive to the project.

A general comment to the voters, particularly those who are concerned about my potential use of delete privileges. I see nomination for deletion and opening deletion discussions as very different things from actually deleting. These are opportunities to make Wikipedia better, not just paths to deletion. Prod'ing an article gives the creator (and any other editor) an opportunity to address specific problems, it's not deleting the article. AFDs should first and foremost be discussions, they are not just paths to deletion. Consensus isn't instaneous and questioning isn't argumentative. Concensus also is not a majority vote. Not every nominator participates in AFDs, but I like to. It helps me learn more. My mind can and frequently has been changed as the discussion goes forward and especially as articles are improved. If given the mop, it will be used conservatively, because it has to. Prod and CSD can be used far less conservatively, because there is oversight. -- RadioFan ( talk) 14:28, 7 March 2011 (UTC) reply
