In theory, this request should be eligible. And while the test project has been mostly dormant over the last seven years, it objectively has been active enough not to reject as "stale". However, the project is entirely written in Latin script, which Ethnologue does not indicate is a valid script for the language. Over a year ago, I put the request on hold, pending conversion of the contents to Perso-Arabic, but no action has been taken. So which of the three actions below does the committee think I should take here?
1. Mark "eligible", but note on the request page that the project will under no conditions merit final approval unless written in Perso-Arabic.
2. Mark "rejected", inviting the community to reapply when the test is converted to Perso-Arabic.
3. Leave as "on hold" indefinitely, awaiting conversion to Perso-Arabic.
Personally, I favor #1, but mainly because I don't like keeping projects on indefinite hold, as I think that makes us look indecisive and pokey. But I could live with #3 in this particular case.
Thoughts?

Today, I marked eight Wikipedia requests that have been on hold since November a year ago as rejected/stale, as there were no test projects created for any of them.
With only one exception, I addressed all the remaining Wikiquote and Wikivoyage requests begun before 2019 that had not been addressed. All were eligible, except for two Wikivoyages rejected as stale. The one request not addressed was for a Wikivoyage in Southern Balochi, which is tied up in the same language question as the pending old Wikipedia requests in Balochi languages. Except for that one case, there are now no unaddressed requests for Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikiquote, Wikivoyage or Wikiversity projects that were originally created before 2019.
There are still old requests for Wikipedias and Wiktionaries, and I will start working on those again shortly.
