Hoi, Please explain your reasoning. Do not forget to explain why you have to attack me by accusing me of not wanting communities without Wikimedia projects. You know what the policy is like, you know why it came into being, I am only doing what is expected of us. Thanks, GerardM

The ISO-639-3 code is a requirement to eligibility. Because of historic reasons we have a few codes that do not comply with the code.One of the reasons for the language committee was to prevent such things from

When we accept codes that do not signify an existing language, it becomes easy to argue all kinds of corner cases. This door is best kept closed.
In other words, we should keep a number of communities without Wikimedia projects (Mapudungun is not the only case) to keep Gerard not upset.
