Hi all.
I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *Wp/wlx*. It has been
active since Aug 2024, and it has been 4 months that 3 or more editors have
been active[1]. There are about 1343 pages including templates.
This language saw a drop in activity in April and May, but random sampling
of pages gave me a generally good impression of the content, and it had
been showing decent activity levels before that, so I don't think it's a
major problem.
Most important core messages have already been translated(100%)[2]. The
request has already been submitted[3].
I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for
your consideration.

Hi,
There's a request for a Wikipedia in Antigua and Barbuda Creole:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Antigu…
It's probably eligible, and I'll mark it as such in a week if there are no
other comments, but it would be nice if someone on the committee can check
the following:
1. Is it OK to use the name "Antigua and Barbuda Creole" when discussing it
in English, given that the language is also spoken in other countries?
2. Is the spelling "Aanteegan an' Baabyuudan", which is provided as the
autonym good?

Hi all.
I would like to ask for comments on the approval of *pcmwikiquote*. It has
been active since March 2025, and it has been *7 months* that 3 or more
editors have been active[1]. There are about *417 *pages including
templates. The random sampling results are positive.
Most important core messages have already been translated(99.83%)[2]. The
request has already been submitted[3]. This language already has Wikipedia
and Wiktionary, so no additional verification process is needed unless
there are special circumstances.
I would like to ask for your opinion on the approval of this, thank you for
your consideration.

Draft decision:
The proposal for closing the Greenlandic Wikipedia is accepted. Despite
Greenlandic being an official language with roughly 60,000 speakers, the
wiki has never developed a viable community: over the last two decades only
one or two Greenlandic users have contributed, and there has been almost no
growth in the last five years. Most articles are short or unintelligible,
and machine-generated content—initially from experimental Greenlandic
machine translators and more recently from AI tools like Google
Translate—has frequently produced nonsense that could misrepresent the
language. The sole active admin, with academic expertise in Greenlandic,
has had to monitor and delete such content, but no sustainable community
exists to safeguard the language. Given the risk of harm to the Greenlandic
language, the seemingly negative attitude towards the project in Greenland,
and the absence of genuine user activity, the project should be closed,
with any remaining content moved to the Incubator for future use.
