First, it's standard practice for people to work their way up, starting with Content Moderator and/or Discussions Moderator rights before going on to receiving Administrator rights. Though many wikis have administrators who are also bureaucrats, Bureaucrat rights should always be handled separately. The person needs to demonstrate they are trustworthy enough to handle the responsibility of being able to grant user rights. Part of that is being on the wiki a very long time and showing they have the commitment to work on the wiki.

Second, when a wiki has an active bureaucrat and/or admin, user rights requests usually have to go through them. I'm an admin so I can't promote anyone to higher than Content or Discussions moderator rights. Our sole bureaucrat hasn't been around for a year, so any Bureaucrat rights would be handled via adopting the wiki, and admins get priority for those.

Third, the four people that have responded so far haven't edited here before. All of them cast their votes within 25 minutes of this blog being created. The chances of four different people coming to the same wiki that close together and all voting in favor of a brand new proposal has to be checked to make sure this isn't an attempt to skew the results.

Fourth, two of the accounts, MistyDragon65 and DragonBallXr, were blocked by Cocopuff2018 three hours ago on a different wiki, so we would need more information as to why the blocks were placed and why they would vote in support of the person who blocked them.

Each of these needs to be addressed before it can proceed.
