I'd close Talmudic Aramaic as ineligible. It's a dead language, studied by
many people (especially Jews) for religious or academic purposes, but not
useful for writing an encyclopedia. It has no native or monolingual
speakers. All the people who know it also know Hebrew, English or other
languages. Books in this language are comfortably hosted in the Hebrew
Wikisource.

Wikipedia Simple French
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_French_Simple_3>:
This request proposes to create the Simple French Wikipedia using français
fondamental, which LangCom has explicitly cited as an example of a simple
Wikipedia that would be allowable under current rules. At the same time,
current rules wouldn't allow a simple French project on Incubator; instead,
the preference would be to incubate that within French Wikipedia. (If
nothing else, allowing Simple French on Incubator, but no other simple
project, would open an enormous can of worms ...) I think what I am going
to do here is to email the user and ask him if he has ever taken up the
idea of incubating within French Wikipedia with that community—and if so,
what that community responded. If, though, the community does not want to
do so, do I allow in Incubator? Encourage them to incubate within Incubator
Plus? (OWTB and I are in the process of creating a replacement Incubator
Plus somewhere else besides Wikia.) I'd strongly appreciate people's
thoughts about these questions.
Wikipedia Sherpa
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Sherpa>
(xsr): Only one mainspace page. Closing as stale.
Wikipedia Ottoman Turkish
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ottoman_Turkish_4>
(ota): This is a large, periodically active test. It last had pages added
in June 2018. It's different enough from modern Turkish that I don't think
a script converter does the job here. I'm not sure why this would be less
eligible than Coptic, for example, given its historical importance and
literature. Thoughts?
Wikipedia Goalpariya (Rangpuri)
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Goalpariya>
(rkt): 8 pages created over three years (2012–15). 15 million speakers.
Marking as eligible.
Wikipedia Hawaiian Pidgin
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Hawaiian_Pidgin>
(hwc): Different from Hawaiian. But there is no test on Incubator. Closing
as stale.
Wikipedia Jewish Bablyonian (Talmudic) Aramaic
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Jewish_Babylonian_Aramaic>
(tmr): The principal language of the Bablyonian Talmud. Test had a page
added this year, but its other five mainspace pages date back to around the
time of the request. Shall we just close as stale, or shall I contact the
original proposer?
