Hearing no further comments, I am going with Option #1.

It makes sense to be as encouraging as possible, so I'd go with Option #1. After all,
automatic conversion should be fairly easy.

Subject: Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Khorasani Turkic
See
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Khoras…amp;reserved=0>.
In theory, this request should be eligible. And while the test project has been mostly
dormant over the last seven years, it objectively has been active enough not to reject as
"stale". However, the project is entirely written in Latin script, which
Ethnologue does not indicate is a valid script for the language. Over a year ago, I put
the request on hold, pending conversion of the contents to Perso-Arabic, but no action has
been taken. So which of the three actions below does the committee think I should take
here?
1. Mark "eligible", but note on the request page that the project will under
no conditions merit final approval unless written in Perso-Arabic.
2. Mark "rejected", inviting the community to reapply when the test is
converted to Perso-Arabic.
3. Leave as "on hold" indefinitely, awaiting conversion to Perso-Arabic.
Personally, I favor #1, but mainly because I don't like keeping projects on indefinite
hold, as I think that makes us look indecisive and pokey. But I could live with #3 in this
particular case.
Thoughts?
