Seriously no. For once, Wizard Saints are elected by the counsil and i don't think the council would accept someone like Gildarts, a nomad, as a Wizard Saint. Power-wise he certainly is at that level but as Warrod said, power isn't everything the counsil wants. Also, Gildarts might not even like to become one. It just doesn't fit his character to be a man of responsibilities. One more thing. It would be bad for Gildarts and his hype if Mashima decided to make him one of the WS bar the 1st. Otherwise Gildarts wouldn't be hyped as someone who can solo a Spriggan and his title as the strongest of FT would lose some "credibility", i am not sure how to word this. It would feel kinda BS if you have a lower lvl WS than the n1 to defeat a spriggan all by himself. Just how it would be hard to believe that Jura could beat Hyberion or Serena it would be just as hard to believe that Gildarts would beat, let's say August. I think it's for the best that Mashima hasn't decided to make Gildarts a WS.
