I am going to start running through the requests that date to 2011. This first set
consists of all of the requests that are NOT Wikipedia or Wiktionary, along with one
Wiktionary request.
Wikibooks
Dusun<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikiboo…un>,
Wikinews
Dusun<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikinew…un>,
and Wiktionary
Dusun<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wiktion…
(langcode dtp): Language of 140,000 speakers in Malaysia. Wikipedia request was marked
eligible in 2011, and both Wikipedia and Wiktionary tests have a decent handful of pages
each. The other two tests have only a couple of pages each, but I see no reason not to
mark all of these as eligible, and will do so.
Wikinews Western
Panjabi<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikin…
(langcode pnb): Wikipedia and Wiktionary already exist. Test has a handful of pages.
Certainly eligible, and I will mark it so.
Wikinews Central Kurdish
(
Sorani)<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikin…
(langcode ckb): Wikipedia already exists. Test has a few pages. Certainly eligible, and I
will mark it so.
Wikiquote
Kashubian<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wik…
(langcode csb): Wikipedia and Wiktionary already exist, but no test was ever created at
Incubator. I propose to close as stale. If someone ever starts a test and puts in a new
request, it will be eligible, and I will say so in closing this request.
Wikisource
Wawa<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisour…wa>:
I'd actually like some advice on this one. (I suspect that this request was created
because of the language's "unique" langcode—www—though at the time Milos
proposed that it would be encoded with its proposed ISO 639–6 code, "wxwa", for
technical reasons.)
There is no evidence that anyone ever added any content for this in multilingual
Wikisource, and the request page expresses doubt that there are many published,
public-domain works in Wawa to publish here. On the other hand, this request is for
Wikisource, and there's no reason that if someone has even one eligible work, it
can't live on multilingual Wikisource forever anyway. Thoughts: Mark eligible? Close
as stale? I just don't really want to leave it as "on hold" because it is so
old.
