A request has been made for Wikipedia in Sheshi Pang [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Sheshi_...], 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?
Regards, Antony
We should consult, but it’s possible to ask the requester what he or she thinks about the naming.

The proposer has accepted Sheshi Kham as the language name, and I've made it eligible.
