Hello Wikimedians. I would like to apply for regular adminship on Meta. I plan on using the tools to attend to maintenance related tasks, in addition to deletions, protections, and other requests such as META:RFH. I am an admin on Commons (since 2010) and on English Wikipedia (since 2016). I've decided to apply for adminship here when I realized that I cannot speedily perform admin tasks on pages of Usergroup Sri Lanka, which I currently lead. Thank you for considering. Yours truly, Rehman 07:14, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Herby. Thanks for your comment. I'd like to point out that I created the usergroup in 2016, and only started pushing the usergroup activities to encourage more participation within the past year. Therefore you are correct, I do not have much contributions prior to that. Regards, Rehman 09:36, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Trijnstel. Yes, of course. I didn't consider applying before as back then I knew that I will be accessing meta less frequently. Now that I have more reasons to be here, I am willing to pitch in wherever necessary. Rehman 12:36, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Sri Lanka user group pages have been responsible for only ~25 deletions in the last two years; I'm not sure that we need a dedicated admin for that. If you are requesting full adminship, then I would like to see some broader and more active participation on Meta. I don't expect Meta admins to be super-active here, but some activity and understanding of how things are done here is a reasonable basic standard IMO. – Ajraddatz (talk) 01:32, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Closed as unsuccessful. There's no consensus to promote Rehman as a local admin. Please take into account above comments, if you want to re-request local adminship in the future. Matiia (talk) 19:25, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
