Issue is that we're serving a project for just 15 pages. I'd argue that is, indeed, absence of content since the wiki creation. Combined with no users interested in the project, etc., the best we can do, IMHO, is to lock the project and return it back to Incubator. Respectfully submitted, MA.

Hoi,
As there is nothing new, no change in the maintenance needed for this particular project I see his point but I do not see the need.
Thanks,

The general argument here is that this project has been dormant for about ten years, and should be closed. There is not a vandalism problem on the project, and indeed I argued that LangCom's current position is that it is better to leave dormant projects alone than to close them and move them to Incubator.  


User:MarcoAurelio, a steward who has posted here occasionally, argues that it's one more dormant project for stewards and global sysops to watch, and that in his view, it would be better to close this project. Two people in the community have responded: one user who really the only material contributor in the last ten years, along with an active sysop from Malagasy Wikipedia. Both effectively take the position that they're OK either way. 


I would personally argue against closing, because I don't see this as being a special case, and I'm concerned that it would open the doors to many more requests to close small projects. But I'd like to hear some other opinions about this.
