@SuperSajuuk, I believe I have explained this to you in the past.

Consensus is NOT a vote! Consensus is one of various decision making process that attempts to form a decision that everyone can agree to.

The support/neutral/oppose for RfAs on other wiki like Wikipedia are not votes, they are summaries of one contributor's stance that are typically followed up with a rationale which is read by the one handling promotion who is trying to determine whether the community has consensus on the topic.

I'm not going to promote based on a poll. Individual pages or topics should be setup for each nominated user so people can give rationales of why a user is or isn't a fit for sysop rights.
