I'm new to this list so apologies if I am not allowed to comment here, etc.

I appreciate that at least this is moving forward and I would like to thank MF-W for her willingness to take those requests up to discussion. I'd also like to thank the whole LangCom for their work which I've always appreciated.

I however would like to submit that I feel that in the case of <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Deletion_of_Afar_Wikipedia,_Wikibooks_and_Wiktionary> we could at least propose that aa.wikibooks and aa.wiktionary be deleted and its domains redirected to their respective Incubator test projects where it is more likely that we will get any contributing, if any. As proposer I know I am a bit biased but IMHO there's no reason to keep living Wikibooks and Wiktionary Afar, and the only reason to keep Wikipedia Afar is because sysadmins use it to run maintenance scripts that have to start somewhere. I such I'd like the commitee to consider MF-W proposed outcome in that proposal and instead approve to keep aawiki, but delete aa.wikibooks and aa.wiktionary, with the domain redirecting to their respective Incubator test projects.

As for <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Deletion_of_Hiri_Motu_Wikipedia>, I don't understand why rejecting is being proposed here. There's majority support for it and it never had any content nor it is likely that the project will be opened in the next decade. Its database could be deleted and its domain could be redirected to the Incubator test project where contributing could happen instead that of a closed wiki.

As for beta.wikiversity, I agree to move it to Incubator, splitting its content into their relevant test projects. We might even open one or two new Wikiversities if their content and activity is good.

Sorry for this long post.

With best regards, M.
