I agree with Gerard and Amir here, I feel like this situation is quite far beyond the Language Committee's scope. The Bulgarian Wikinews situation is a bit similar, but I think Steven made some good arguments as to why it is more in our scope – bgwikinews originally came to our attention because of inactivity, and during the revival attempt it was "hijacked" by ill-intentioned users. The Croatian situation is quite different since we're not talking about closing a project at all, but about making dramatic changes to the community. I feel like a decision about what to do there needs to be taken by the board, directed at the Trust and Safety team + stewards. Since it's not about the validity of the language, it's not really our table, so to speak.
The Stewards, indeed, sound like the first people to talk to about this.
The Language committee should be about the languages themselves, and not so much about what is said in them.

Hoi,
We could. However, we are not the best positioned group to do so. The stewards come to mind. The trust and safety committee.. but to be honest the board of trustees is the organisation that indicates the importance of these issues, has a responsibility to us as a movement and it can direct the WMF to do whatever.
Thanks,
GerardM
