Primefac filed an RfB on 31 March 2019, a mere 2 weeks after
DeltaQuad was promoted as a result of her RfB. Primefac's RfB was closed as successful with a final tally of 151/7/5. This makes 2019 the first year since
2014 with 2 new bureaucrats, and there are still 8 more months to go!
Bishzilla filed a (serious) RfA for
RexxS on 1 April 2019. After a
'crat chat,
Dweller closed the RfA as successful. The story continued, however;
Pudeo then proceeded to file a request for Arbitration, arguing that the RfA should have been closed as "no consensus to promote" instead. More coverage in the
Arbitration report.
On 12 April 2019, 'crat
Wizardman retired from the project. An active editor, he even participated in Rexx's crat-chat.
As part of Wikipedia's
April Fools' Day festivities, a recently created Wikipedia newspaper called TheWikiWizard was
nominated for deletion at MfD. Signpost writer DannyS712 also writes for it.
This year there were 2 successful RfAs:
Linguist111 (testing) (closed at <10/9/1>), and
DeprecatedFixerBot (closed at <7/13/6>). There was not a single unsuccessful RfA filed on April Fools' Day. RfBs, however, didn't fare as well: while
ZLEA2 was closed as successful (with a final tally of <?/?/?>),
ClueBot NG was unsuccessful, with their RfB closing at <17/16/12>.
On the other hand, no humor BRFAs were denied:
DeletionBoot was approved for trial, while
C-3PO is still pending.
