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: 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 (xsr): Only one mainspace page. Closing as stale.
Wikipedia Ottoman Turkish (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) (rkt): 8 pages created over three years (2012–15). 15
million speakers. Marking as eligible.
Wikipedia Hawaiian Pidgin (hwc): Different from Hawaiian. But there is no test on
Incubator. Closing as stale.
Wikipedia Jewish Bablyonian (Talmudic) 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?
