Subject: Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Khorasani Turkic
In theory, this request should be eligible. And while the test project has been mostly dormant over the last seven years, it objectively has been active enough not to reject as "stale". However, the project is entirely written in Latin script, which Ethnologue does not indicate is a valid script for the language. Over a year ago, I put the request on hold, pending conversion of the contents to Perso-Arabic, but no action has been taken. So which of the three actions below does the committee think I should take here?
- Mark "eligible", but note on the request page that the project will under no conditions merit final approval unless written in Perso-Arabic.
- Mark "rejected", inviting the community to reapply when the test is converted to Perso-Arabic.
- Leave as "on hold" indefinitely, awaiting conversion to Perso-Arabic.
Personally, I favor #1, but mainly because I don't like keeping projects on indefinite hold, as I think that makes us look indecisive and pokey. But I could live with #3 in this particular case.
Thoughts?Steven
