===Nomination===

Voting is open for 1 week after the 3rd vote has been cast. Voting is now closed.

Please place any future elections above this one, so that the most recent ones are always on top.

=== Nomination ===

I would like to nominate [[User:Fredg999]] for [[Xenharmonic_Wiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]] (he is already an admin currently). The wiki currently has very few active bureaucrats and I think it's a good idea to have at least one more.

=== Comments ===

The one and only problem I see so far is that if we don't have enough bureaucrats, Fred could be overloaded- especially since he seems to be so busy as is- so we need to nominate at least one to two more bureaucrats. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 05:29, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

: Hi Aura,

: This is a fair concern; I think promoting Fred is the best first step for addressing it.

: Once Fred is promoted, there will be 3 active bureaucrats instead of 2: Tyler, FloraC and Fred.

: If someone else were to become a bureaucrat, it would probably make sense for them to be a regular admin for a year or so first (as was the case with Flora and Fred).

: Here is the list of current admins: [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Administrators#Current administrators]]. On that list, aside from Fred, I don't see anyone who is both active enough and non-controversial enough to be an ideal candidate for bureaucrat.

: As such, I think it might make some sense to nominate more new admins; and maybe a year or two down the line if things are going well, they might be nominated as full bureaucrats.

: I think that any of:

* Ganaram Inukshuk

* Bcmills

* Sintel

* Gordon Wery

* Xenoindex

: <small>''(alphabetical order by surname)''</small>

: would be good choices (only if they themselves were okay with being nominated though of course; we'd need to ask them individually first).

: Are there any of those suggestions you agree or disagree with? Any other names you think it might be a good idea to nominate?

:: For some reason, I thought that Admin was above Bureaucrat, but it seems I was mistaken. Anyhow, of that list you propose, the two that really come to mind are Xenoindex and Bcmills. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 01:59, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

~~===Neutral===~~

: Bureaucrats are important but the job itself is not very demanding. For reference, the whole of English Wikipedia only has 16 active bureaucrats currently (see [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Current_bureaucrats]]). – [[User:Sintel|Sintel🎏]] ([[User_talk:Sintel|talk]]) 18:48, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

=== Result ===

[[User: Fredg999|Fredg999]] is elected a bureaucrat following overwhelmingly positive community reactions. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 08:16, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
