I did leave a question about the name on the request page [meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Sheshi_Pang#Discussion].

We should consult, but it’s possible to ask the requester what he or she thinks about the naming.

A request has been made for Wikipedia in Sheshi Pang [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Sheshi_Pang], a Sino-Tibetan language of Nepal. However, ISO calls the language Sheshi Kham [http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=kip]; the Wikipedia article groups it together with three other languages as the Kham language [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kham_language]. Ethnologue estimates 20,000 native speakers.

Is there any reason not to mark this eligible?

Should we use the requester's name Sheshi Pang or ISO's name Sheshi Kham?

Antony
