A successful run for adminship generally requires:
Trust
Experience
Content creation
Shortcut

Trust

Candidates must have the trust of the community. They are commonly well-mannered, show good judgement, and ideally have a clean block log, or at least one that has been clean for over a year.

Experience

Successful candidates usually have thousands of edits and plenty of experience, including in one or two areas where they are ready to use the admin tools.

Content creation

The minimum expectation for new admins is that they will have added some reliably sourced content to English Wikipedia. Although writing that meets "Good Article" or "Featured Article" standards is excellent, other forms of high-quality contributions can also demonstrate an understanding of the effort required to write mainspace articles in collaboration with others.
