No. I have removed him again. RfA is *not* a voting page, it operates by
consensus, and when it is clear that no consensus will develop, then it is
pointless to go through the procedure. It's the same on VfD. Cunctator has
been much chastised for removing items on VfD, but I agree with him on
that point.
Do you realise what you are saying here? You are saying that if no
consensus can be reached on whether or not to delete a page, then you
decide that it won't be deleted. What sort of consensus is that?
You seem to think that not deleting a page, or not granting sysop
rights, is some sort of "default" value to fall back to when you think
consensus cannot be reached -- is that right? If so, when and how has
consensus been reached on that?
I don't mind if you remove flames, personal attacks, and anything of the
sort, but I think removing a sysop nomination can sometimes come across
as rather impertinent.
If they don't want sysop status, then they should remove their own
nomination.
