StevenJ81 informed me that most of the pages are only in <https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Category:%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5% >88%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%8D% E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95_HI , for whatever reason (>400). So I looked at them as well.
With this "full picture", it looks much better. Not stellar, but well... the project is active and continues to be edited (and, I guess, improved).Now my opinion is that we should carry on with the approval.2017-07-19 1:21 GMT+02:00 MF-Warburg <mfwarburg@googlemail.com>:I have now looked through the Hindi pages on Beta.wikiversity myself. At first I just wanted to look at a random sample of pages, but then I noticed that there are only "69 pages (including categories, templates, talk pages, and redirects)" (cf. catanalysis). I don't know if this number was higher previously.However, that is IMHO way too little for a wiki to be approved. I also don't see any pages that look like courses, which after all, is what Wikiversity is for.Therefore I agree with the starting point of this thread, that Hindi Wikiversity should not be created, and the approval taken back.2017-07-19 1:09 GMT+02:00 MF-Warburg <mfwarburg@googlemail.com>:Yes, agreed. Though the question here is different, it is about whether the test-project as it currently is is in a state that is appropriate for approval.2017-07-18 12:51 GMT+02:00 Jon Harald Søby <jhsoby@gmail.com>:(Late reply, sorry.)While I may have doubts about the merits of Wikiversity myself, I don't think it's within the scope of the Language Committee to deny the creation of projects based on those merits. We should only focus on whether the community for the relevant language edition of a project is healthy enough for it to become a separate project, without consideration for the individual committee members' feelings about the project as a whole.2017-07-04 18:12 GMT+02:00 Gerard Meijssen <gerard.meijssen@gmail.com>:Hoi,Yes, that is the politically correct answer. The question asked by several is what is Wikiversity good for. Is it actually used?Thanks,GerardMOn 4 July 2017 at 18:06, Satdeep Gill <satdeepgill@gmail.com> wrote:I do think that the community will improve content as the time progresses.
