Hoi,

To be honest, it is not the task of the language committee to kill of projects. At best we may "recommend". At that we strongly urge the Wikimedia Foundation to rename a few projects that are incorrectly named. This does not happen as it does not have the needed priority.

Also, there are always people who one way or another want the language committee to do whatever. That is fine but it does not mean that the language committee can do much more than its remit.

Thanks,

GerardM

The community is getting impatient that LangCom is leaving so many items in limbo, especially the Beta Wikiversity proposal. (See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Closing_projects_policy#This_is_not_working.) That proposal passed its fourth anniversary in the last week! In April, you discussed this question, and seemed on the verge of approving the closure—but then the discussion was stopped, and no action was taken.

There are currently four proposals that have been open for two years or longer, and another two that have been open for over a year. I strongly urge you to take action at least on those, lest the community step in and make its own decisions. As a reminder these are:

Move Beta Wikiversity to Incubator
Deletion of Moldovan WIkipedia and Wiktionary (two separate proposals) (already closed and locked)
Deletion of Marshallese projects (already closed and locked)
Closure of Limburgish and Bosnian Wikibooks (two proposals)

I'd venture to say that there is no groundswell insisting on the Marshallese, Limburgish or Bosnian proposals, and you could easily close those proposals as "not done" with little fanfare. The others I cannot really comment on.
