I'd argue that most wikis do have a need for new admins. Admins aren't paid, they don't have a job; all are volunteers. As such, more hands to help out means that things get done faster and also helps to dissolve any preconception that adminship is a big deal. The main consideration should be whether or not the individual user being considered needs the rights. If they could have some use for them, and can be trusted with them, then why not?
