Is there any discussion going on there? btw I
don't think it's required,
if we move
to somewhere else we're gonna deal with a lot
loosing ranks and that's not acceptable in any way. Also if azwiki
community decides they want to move their domain, there will be a lot of
absent people mad at you later, be aware you're moving a encyclopedia, my
opinion is let's just keep it for technical issues and start helping South
one get a place.

Hoi,
It is simple. We have a policy. As a consequence of that policy we did
reject a southern Azeri Wikipedia. We did so because it was included in the
az.wikipedia. Now one administrator decides to force an issue by deleting
articles in the Arabic script. That is not acceptable particularly not
because there was no consensus for him to do so.,
There is no reason at all to give this silly sod what he wants. There are
multiple options
- they can restore the articles an the az multi script situation
- they can vote to have a separate Northern ie Latn script Wikipedia
When they have made their choice our policy does deny them the
az,wikipedia because effectively it is a new one., Az is a macro language
code so it is not available.
Thanks,

I have had some more thoughts on this..
My proposal is to have the az.wikipedia community decide what it
wants...
Do they want a Latin only Wikipedia or not. When
If.
they do, there Wikipedia will be renamed to
Northern Azerbaijani and
they will lose the az code.
No! That’s your agenda. Leave it as it is, take the Arabic out and put it
into a new Wiki. That seems to be what the users want. They haven’t said
“We want to relabel the languages”. They’ve said they don’t want to mix
script content.
When
If.
they want to keep Arabic after all, it is no
longer an option for them
to deny content in a legitimate script for their
language.

When

we agree that this makes sense in the light of
our policy, we will
inform the board and give the board two weeks to express their
approval.
We will then put it to the az.wp community and it is for them to come
to a
decision they will have to live with. There will not be any other
options considered.
The options are”
1) Do nothing. Keep scripts mixed.
2) Keep
az.wikipedia.org for Latin. This is a national orthography. Add
azb.wikipedia.org or
az-arab.wikipedia.org for the Arabic-script
version, which is used in Iran.
3) As 2) but deprecate
az.wikipedia.org for Latin and make them use
asj.wikipedia.org. This is a bad idea.
