Would we? You need to receive all votes from admins in order to produce an admin. Remember, if one vote is missing from admins, the candidate would not become an admin. Therefore, if there are a lot of support from the users and the candidate is very likely detrimental, the admin could have the right not to vote. Will this create a lot of admins? I don't think so.

Also opening the application into a certain period of time would not be a good idea. First, very few admins could be chosen in a year, and some original wannabe admins may become inactive as time goes by, like Luvdwayulie whom I would have given the admin to during his active period, but the delay of promoting others has really caused this user to become very very inactive during that period of time.

The requirements are too low. I feel that the user needs at least 5,000 edits and at least 3,500 edits in Mainspace. Moreover, the edits cannot be ridiculously small edits.

Probable, but it will be extremely time-consuming to check their edits. Still I think the people who nominate him and the voters have eyes to judge whether s/he deserves the admin place or not.

I agree, but at least the edit count could be a measurable factor of being eligible in the voting. The dedication and maturity could not be measured, but only be judged by the voters and nominators.
