Moi,
If the Tundra (ykg) or Forest Yukaghir (yux) get interested in starting a wikimedia
project in their language, I'll be happy to reconsider, but as it stands, this is
unlikely since there are few active speakers of either language. I hope that someone
restarts the Luri projects again, but not the way it has been done so far.

Hoi,
I take it that you mean that they are not eligible. For me that means that we will not
approve at a later date.
The proposals in your mail.. OK
Thanks,

Hei! Sorry for the long mail.
Since the Northern Luri wp was closed, I think it would make sense to reject the remaining
Northern Luri proposal on meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikinews_Norther…. Also
the "Sumerian" incubator (Wp/sux) is back and should be nuked again and this
request
rejected<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wiki…an>.
This Wiktionary has no
proposal<https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wt/yux>ux>, but it was created
by a notorious "Wiki hijacker" (to use a term from last week's Arctic Knot
conference) who did not know the languages he was supposedly saving so I say nuke it. The
wp version of this has already been nuked.
Other proposals that would be sensible to reject:
1.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ter_Sa…
2.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Tundra…
This proposal for Norn was rejected since it's extinct and has very few written
sources<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikip…rn>,
which makes me wonder if this is written in actual Norn or some version of Nynorn or some
other language:
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wp/nrn
I think that the Northern Saami wiktionary project should probably also be nuked and
buried as a lot of it was created by someone with no grasp of the language (cf. "Wiki
hijacker"), but I'll ask around in the community if there is any reason they
think it should be saved.
mvh.
