Hi,
Remind me please: Is there a policy about marking a request as eligible or
not if the ISO code is valid and the language is living, natural, and
distinct, but there's no content in the Incubator and no other activity on
the request page other than the template?
Example:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Angola…
Mark it as eligible? Leave it as open?
Mark it as some other status? The template supports these statuses:
open
waiting
old
stale
rejected
eligible
approved
The values open, rejected, eligible, and approved are all clear to me. But
what are waiting, old, and stale?

I don't really know what to do with this one. It does not fulfill the
criteria for closing a project, as the reasons all boil down to
"inactivity", but there is no absence of content since the wiki's creation.
I suggest we do a "soft closure" as invented by StevenJ81.
Hi,
Any objection to marking Tigre (ISO 639: tig) as eligible?
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Tigre
The language is living and has a little under one million speakers. It's
distinct, too—though related to Tigrinya and more remotely to Amharic, I
haven't seen anyone saying that it's "the same" as Tigrinya.
It has been very active in translatewiki recently, and quite active in the
Incubator, too.
