The following is adapted from TonyBallioni’s RfA criteria:
1. Not a jerk
2. Has a clue
3. 1 year / 1000 edits (more concrete version of “have a record”)
Remember to read the Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates page.

RfA is a terrible process because it's so hard to pass. Jimbo said "adminship isn't a big deal", but RfA has become one. Let's change that.
