C. I trust the admin team's judgement on bureaucrat candidates more than I trust (much of) the community's.

A bureaucrat is someone who could have a large and long lasting impact on the image and legacy of this wiki. Not all users here can assess someone's ability to do that, as many users come and then leave before too long, and many admit they don't care about the wiki, don't even like it, and just pop in for a bit of entertainment and a party. Whereas admins (should) have a more solid idea of the running, and the future of this wiki.
