Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/refcanimm

(wikibooks administrator)
I have been editing the book Canadian Refugee Procedure for some years. I would like to have the permissions necessary to delete some old orphaned pages on the book.
 * I'm not sure about permanent adminship since you don't seem to be particularly active in the community (i.e. discussions, etc) as far as I can see. Perhaps temporary adminship would be more appropriate, and the scope would be limited to deleting pages in the specific book? In the meantime, you're welcome to flag pages for speedy deletion if they meet the criteria! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:23, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm opposed to this. Adminship cannot be limited to just deleting pages and just from a particular book. I'd expect to see an interest an understanding of all aspects of adminship before supporting. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 16:22, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @MarcGarver these are fair points. I am noticing, though, that the policy does technically say that you can grant temporary adminship "to perform specialist tasks" and that this right can be immediately revoked without discussion if there is evidence that disallowed actions are taking place. In terms of precedent, I was previously granted temporary adminship in early 2023, which I used at the time only to address persistent vandalism. But, I do see the concern, and I am definitely hesitant to grant any administrative powers to someone who isn't a more widely active community presence. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 19:45, 29 November 2023 (UTC)


 * per MarcGarver. There is a lot more to adminship than merely deleting pages from a singular book. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 04:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Unlike some of the others, I think it's OK to consider temp adminship to a user that mainly works on one book, when there is a good reason for requesting that right. However, I'm not seeing that here. I see only about 15-20 entries in your deleted user contributions page, and only a couple from this year. As Kittycataclym says, you can easily flag pages for deletion. If there's something specific you'd like to do that requires admin rights that I'm missing, let us know. Also BTW: the reviewer right that you have is actually generous on what you can do - you can move pages without a redirect for example. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 09:44, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
