Note 1: There could be other candidates I have not listed, such as accounts active during the beginning of 2019, but not since the 01/10/209, or accounts that were created before 01/01/2019 but were Newbies at the time.
Note 2: The data related to merits is as of this morning. The remaining data is as of last Friday (I'm downloading it now).
Edit: Here's an idea: Do the same per main board/local board (be it restricted to Newbie or else) ... quite ambicious to do. I figure it's best to see how this proposal (OP's) plays out first.
It’s pretty difficult to tell. I’ve gone briefly over a list of accounts created from the 01/01/2019 onwards, that have received at least 20 sMerits (https://public.tableau.com/shared/G2XFMK2PP?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link), and numerically, @Ratimov seems the best candidate, even more so having been created during mid-June 2019. Content wise is difficult to say due to the language barrier, but the structure and detail of the posts seems rather good. There are a few other forum members that have excellent numbers, who also have a large local board tradition (making it pretty impossible to compare content).
If you have some potential candidates that you're unable to gauge thoroughly due to language, you can post it them as "possibilities." Maybe other members who frequent the same local boards will help with the assessment.

Any objections to me moving it to Meta?
I don't mind, not that it matters much.
Unfortunately I still can't come up with any suitable nominations. All notable newbies that I recall are sockpuppets. This probably says more about me than the actual state of the forum - I'm sure there are great genuine noobs hiding somewhere.
There has to be -- we just don't go to those places. Things that excite us are boring to noobs. We have no idea what the noobs find exciting. Part of the aging process.
The benefit of moving it to Meta is that it will be seen by a fresh set of eyes who (wisely, most likely) steer clear of the Reputation section.

Lol, no similarities were insinuated. I agree that many are probably unaware of their nominations. Which isn't a bad thing per se.
17 posts receiving 11 merit is a great start for any newbie on this forum, worth acknowledging in my opinion.
nominated retracted
Thanks for participating, but I agree with V8s, that's obviously a sock-puppet, and not even trying to hide the fact.
Leave it open for another week or so. Maybe some other nominations will come along. I kept nominations for my Troll Poll open for a month. Also, you may have gotten some more traffic by putting this thread in Meta.
Since I made the suggestion as it parallels the NFL's post season I've decided to keep nominations open until Super Bowl Sunday. Meta board might have been a better place for this post as opposed to reputation.

Anyone else thinks how stupid the "BTC is not Bitcoin" argument is? It's like saying $AMZN is not Amazon anymore because Amazon has moved from selling solely books to now selling a dozen million of products.
What are you going to do next then? Shill an utter shit altcoin?
oh wait..

Well after all that I hardly dare even nominate this fella. He seems almost too good to be true.
arbiter5
Anyone know anything about him?
In further curmudgeonly objections, the similarity between American Football rookies and Bitcointalk newbies isn't that great, not that Direwolf said it really was. The young sportsmen will already have been playing for what a dozen years, will have been vigorously weeded out, and will have been trained up in a sub-culture and a culture steeped in the sport; whereas a btc newbie nowadays will probably have almost no experience, knowledge or skill. The first ever time he caught a football, or watched and took in a skillful play. So it's pretty good that we scrabbled together even a handful of handy noobs here and I wish them the best of luck. (I wonder if they are all even aware of their nominations?)
Suspicion is all that is required here. 'Sock' is a shortening of 'sock-puppet' which is a near synonym for 'alt' account. So it's there in his name. The suspicion.
When you put it like that, it does sound like they are admitting to be an alt account
Nomination retracted.

I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed. Not with the quality of accounts that have been nominated, some great ones obviously. But I'm disappointed with the quantity of nominees (or lack there of.)
I'll nominate SockyMcSockFace for gaining 10+ merit within a month as a newbie, such as raising the issue of BSV false flags. Kudos.
17 posts receiving 11 merit is a great start for any newbie on this forum, worth acknowledging in my opinion.
And you don't for one minute suspect that SockyMcSockFace violates rule 2?
2. Don't nominate your own alts, or an account you suspect is an alt of another established member.
No, I have no reason to suspect that this is an alt account, although like with any newbie it's entirely possible. But I also haven't read all the posts/replies to/from/about this user either.
If you'd like to show me any evidence, or reason why you're suspicious, then I will happily retract my nomination if it seems that this is the case.
Do enlighten me, with references please.

Suits better in B&H as more newbies could nominate themselves or there "ranking up colleagues". Even nominating ourselves is allowed, hence can garb more traffic in sections where newbies roam around more often.

Bump.
I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed. Not with the quality of accounts that have been nominated, some great ones obviously. But I'm disappointed with the quantity of nominees (or lack there of.) Should I allow more time? I planned on closing this thread tomorrow, January 12, around 19:00 (7pm, for those of you are 24-hour-clock-chalanged) but I can keep it open longer. What do you folks think?

The Academy Awards (the Oscars) are held in March for the proceeding year's works. I few more days and some bumps wouldn't hurt.

@ Rikafip has attained 500 merits since being created on the 4th of August 2019. Never heard of them till just now, but quite an achievement.
No suggestions, but this thread is a probably a good place to find nominees: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-future-of-bitcointalk-low-ranking-top-merit-earners-in-the-past-30-days-5185736
The only name I recognise in post #1 is Ratimov who has started a Russian Language version of the Known Alts thread. (and Loycemobile who doesn't count - no offence LoyceV 
)I haven't interacted with him practically at all, so am hesitant to nominate him without support/seconder.

Thank you for your support. I have learned a lot for myself over the past 7 months on the forum. And I have done a lot of useful things for the forum as a thank you.
Impressive merit record buddy! Awesome really!
OPs idea has already proven to be great, we get to know members we werent aware of, for example because they are around in completely different sections of the forum, local boards etc.
