We should consult, but it’s possible to ask the requester what he or she thinks about the
naming.

A request has been made for Wikipedia in Sheshi Pang

Sino-Tibetan language of Nepal. However, ISO calls the language Sheshi Kham
[

together with three other languages as the Kham language
[
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kham_language]. Ethnologue estimates 20,000 native
speakers.
Is there any reason not to mark this eligible?
Should we use the requester's name Sheshi Pang or ISO's name Sheshi Kham?
