I actually believe that putting hard restrictions on making admin requests would be an unnecessarily bureaucratic change. The bar for becoming an admin is fairly high, and most of what you described seem like qualities which would already be looked for in potential candidates. Additionally, I think the community does a good job of gating candidates who are unsuited for the role as-is. I mean, look at the two RfAs you called out in the OP: Club Penguin Lover1's has no support and five people in opposition after less than a day, while VideoGameBlogger's is in the same situation after less than two.

With all of this said, I do believe this wiki could benefit from a way to quickly close proposals that seem (on a case-by-case basis) extremely unlikely to succeed. Something like Wikipedia's "snowball clause", maybe?
