Please note that SIL accepted a change request (submitted by the inventor of this language, cf. http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/cr_files/2007-144.pdf) but Ethnologue did not include lfn in their editions ever.
Given that LFN has a wiki on Wikia (cf. http://lfn.wikia.com/wiki/Paje_xef), I don't see why we should accept it as a Wikimedia project. Let it go the way of Klingon ...
Fwiw, Oliver

There is a request for Wikipedia in "Lingua Franca Nova", which is a constructed language with an ISO 639-3 code. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Lingua_Franca_Nova_2 I'm bringing it up because there is currently a very active contributor on Incubator.
A previous request was rejected in 2008. Of course, the Language Proposal Policy says: If the proposal is for an artificial language such as Esperanto, it must have a reasonable degree of recognition as determined by discussion (this requirement is being discussed by the language committee).
What are your opinions about the degree of recognition? Can the language be eligible or should it be rejected? I have never heard of this language before, but I am of course only a linguistic layman.
