Sounds like an irc star. That would explain a fan club. I can't stand irc, but I have no objection to folks who can constructively banter becoming administrators. They are skilled communicators. It is a lot harder for a sensible hard-headed person to become liked than for someone who is well liked to become a capable administrator. It seems reasonable to me. Creating good new articles is not one of the duties of an administrator anyway.

I am slightly concerned about the RfA for Acetic Acid. This is a user whose only attempt to create an article is [[vitaminwater]] which is really bad. He does however have overwhelming support (even from a couple of people I know) and clearly has a huge fanclub, and he hasnt done anything blatently wrong (apart from a perhaps unnecessary RfC).
I was wondering about suggesting a mentoring program in how to write an article perhaps, which would be something I would be interested in creating anyway.
I am sure he wont do any harm as an admin, but it all seems a bit odd.
