Truely deserved.
Cause tomorrow is a brand-new day
And tomorrow you'll be on your way
Don't give a damn about what other people say
Because tomorrow is a brand-new day

This is one of the nominations that really deserves serious treatment and not the comical approach you have chosen here. Perhaps a more factual accounting of days served in each position, links to some of his more notable posts (he has quite a few in both the MudPit and Vestigia for example), and a more realistic appreciation of his impact on the board administration and activity as a staff member.
As you have it here now it appears you are relying on his moderation history? but Novus is much more than that.

Ah Querido, i never could hate you. And Angela even if she is not from my party is one of our better chancellors.
I don't know, Abdul has a fine sense of humour, i guess he likes a not too serious laudatio.
And even if you don't visit daily the dungeons and deeper dungeons, his posts especially in the pit and VV are the more well researched ones. Lightowers of wisedom in the darkness of party policy and hurray patriotism. I mean the man has a POTF Bronze medal.
If i could vote, he would have my voice.

Edit: In the end it doesn't matter how much evidence you do deliver here, people will vote out of sympathy or not, as recent cases have shown.

I think there is room for both comedy and seriousness but I agree that it would be nice to see more here than just his awards and a promise that he has many other accomplishments that are unable to be shared.
I believe Abdul to be worthy of this award, but I find this award proposal to be lacking in it's current state.
I will be abstaining.
p.s post is quite funny though

Support. An oversight from senior staff that he hasn't got one already.

Lol I wonder if you actually read the reasoning of the award, I'll repeat it down here for your comfort, in case you missed it.
Therefore his posts in the Mudpit or the VV have nothing to do with this award. As a matter of fact those are important towards the Phalera award, which, low and behold, I proposed Abdul for about one year and a half ago. Also, administration has nothing to do with this award, since that is covered by the Divus.Awarded for exceptional contributions to the site in the capacity of a staff member.
Next time please take care of properly distinguishing between awards, if you really want to make a point.
And it's rather ironic that you pretend to tell me what a Novus is, since I'm a holder myself and I've proposed another 3 or 4 recipients in the past few years.
Anyways, each to his own I guess
Well this quite funny, honestly
However, as I said in the proposal itself, it is difficult to show the concrete contribution of a Moderator, since most of their deeds are covered by the SnD; you can link to an article or to a workshop or whatever, but you can't link to a report or an infraction or a PM conversation, for obvious reasons, therefore it becomes impossible to show publicly how his daily work of a Moderator could be considered excellent. I trust that more support will come from the other Moderators (and retired ones as well), who have witnessed his amazing contribution with their own eyes.
If more factual data is really needed, then please be my guest:
- Amethyst mace is usually given after over 3 years of continuous and distinguished service as a Moderator, which is quite a lot already. Abdul has served for another year and a half and is now close to 5 years of continuous and distinguished service, which is exceptional by itself, I'd say.
- As far as I can tell personally he's been the most active Moderator, in terms of number of total moderation actions per month, for almost every month he served (and often with a very large gap compared to the second), with very few exceptions.
- He's been a Mentor for long (for those who do not know, Mentores are a sort of Senior Moderators who, among the other things, accept the responsibility to train new moderators. i.e. lolI was my Mentor when I was a rookie long ago).
- The TWC Moderation award is of course self explanatory. Being voted for three years in a row by the site as a whole as the best Moderator is a clear evidence of the quality of his work in that position and how that is easily perceived by the membership as a whole. If more numbers are needed, I can tell you that in both 2019 and 2020 awards he was voted the best Moderator with over 50% of the total votes (54% and 64% respectively).
- While not mandatory per se, it is implied that anyone who is promoted into Hex because of their Staff work has already contributed exceptionally in their duties; this is what lolI is referring to with his comment.
I hope this will be enough to convince even the most skeptic Citizen.

I think he's just calling them out for being lazy and not nominating him themselves, leaving it to an old retired curmudgeon like yourself .this is what lolI is referring to with his comment.
Anyway, you've convinced me.

I've been working with the Pacha (Abdülmecid I) in Moderation during several years. He has showed a tireless commitment and a great dedication in a task that can be ungrateful sometimes. A well deserved recognition
