#'''Support'''. I actually do share many of the concerns Nathan Johnson has below. A lot of Ymblanter's AfD comments sound like the arguments given at [[WP:ITSNOTABLE]], which is not a desirable trait to have in an admin who is going to be closing AfD discussions. However, after looking at the big picture of his AfD contributions I could find plenty of counterexamples that demonstrate that he does know what is required by the notability guidelines. (For example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/GEAR_Video&diff=532572010&oldid=532455217][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Abdur_Razzaq_%28barrister%29&diff=536166160&oldid=536114171][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Calvin_Jung&diff=536164958&oldid=536133887].) I am more concerned by [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/New_Quantum_Theory&diff=535876611&oldid=535774525 this], which is not a valid criterion for speedy deletion, and I hope that the candidate will wait until he has more experience with speedy deletion before working in this area in an admin capacity. Having said all of this, on the whole I find Ymblanter to be a thoughtful, considerate, and productive editor, and I think making him an admin would be a benefit to the project. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|Mr. Stradivarius]]''''' [[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪ talk ♪]] 14:11, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

#You've got a lot going for you. I've read the nominations, your answers to the questions, and perused your talk page archives doing back to late last year. You come across as friendly and willing to collaborate, which is an absolute must. One thing that particularly impressed me was your ability to settle into a niche upon recognizing your limitations (i.e. sticking with building up stubs due to being a non-native English speaker). It's extremely important that an administrator knows his or her limitations and works accordingly, and it seems to me you're able to do that.

#:: So silly quibbles. “Indeed not notable; merge into Guan Yu” (offering a concrete solution) is more than “just not notable”, and “obviously notable as a Eurovision participant” (an argumented assertion of notability) is more than “just notable”.
